Vagus Nerve Stimulator (Cont.)

Other Information on the Vagus Nerve Stimulator

Patients with a vagus nerve stimulator will require regular visits to their physicians for adjustments to their device and other treatments.
 
The batteries in the vagus nerve stimulator need to be replaced about once every five years; this requires a minor operation that can usually be performed as an outpatient procedure.
