Abstract

Although vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a common alternative add-on treatment for epilepsy, the effects of the possible combination of VNS programmable options other than those established in antiepileptic protocols (e.g., current intensity, on-off operating time) have not been fully investigated. This study reports the effect of low-intensity, low cycling VNS on a subject with persistent cerebellar tremor due to multiple sclerosis (MS).
