Peadiatric neurologist and Assistant Professor at Gazi University, Esra Serdaroglu, tells us about the exciting treatment for some epilepsies called VNS (or vagus nerve stimulation). Esra speaks of the simple surgery, potential side effects, and incredibly positive impacts that so many children experience when it comes to seizure control and even mood. Esra also tells us about her research into the impact of VNS on children when it comes to sleep, appetite, and overall quality of life.
