     • VNS therapy involves implanting a small electrical device, like a pacemaker, under the skin just behind the shoulder blade. This is then connected to the vagus nerve, just beside the trachea. The device sends electrical impulses to the brain via this nerve every few minutes.

   What is vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy?

   • Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy is a treatment for epilepsy that involves a stimulator (or ‘pulse generator’) which is connected, inside the body, to the left vagus nerve in the neck. The stimulator sends regular, mild electrical stimulations through this nerve to help calm down the irregular electrical brain activity that leads to seizures.

   Does vagus nerve stimulation help treat PTSD?

   • Vagus nerve stimulation has shown promise as a therapeutic option for PTSD (8). Chronic VNS has been shown to reduce anxiety in rats (96) and improve scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale in patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression (8).

   Is VNS therapy safe for dogs?

   • Conclusion: Implantation of a VNS Therapy (®) System is safe and feasible in dogs; however, seroma formation, twisting of the lead, and dislodgement of the anchor tether were common. Practical improvements in the technique include stable device placement, use of a compression bandage, and exercise restriction.
