Research Summary
A recent study published in Frontiers in Neurology explores the benefits of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for people with both epilepsy and migraine. This randomized controlled trial involved 40 patients, split into two groups: one receiving true taVNS and the other a pseudostimulus. Over 24 weeks, the taVNS group experienced significant reductions in migraine and seizure frequencies, along with improved anxiety and depression scores. Quality of life scores increased, and the EEG power spectrum was notably reduced across several brain regions. These findings suggest taVNS may offer a promising adjuvant treatment for individuals facing both epilepsy and migraine.
