2022, NeuromodulationCitation Excerpt :From 18 studies conducted in patients with epilepsy, most of them were quasi-experimental studies: 12 pretest-posttest studies, three non-RCTs, and one within-subject experimental design. There was one RCT55 and one cohort study.52 The RCT demonstrated no statistically significant differences in the cognitive tasks between active (high stimulation) and control/inactive (low stimulation) VNS.
