This is called vagus nerve stimulation. An electrode is placed into the neck and stimulates the vagus nerve. This sends signals into the brain in ways we don't completely understand and helps some people to have fewer seizures. There are so many life issues involved. The strategies will vary by the individual, for example, the type of seizures.
Some people have only seizures in which they have starring spells.
People can often work and function with these kinds of seizures. Sometimes people around them are not aware they are having seizures. One important issue is not to drive and to avoid circumstances in which having a seizure would be especially dangerous to the patient or others. As I mentioned earlier, the success rates vary from greater than 90 percent all the way down to just 50 percent. These statistics have to be taken into account with how severe the seizures are and how severely the seizures effect the person's life.
