Aspire 106 Vagus Nerve Stimulator.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
London, UK

One thing I cannot find anywhere or calculate from clinical trials is the number of "Auto-Stims" one can expect every day (It's dependent on threshold and duty cycle settings). It would be hugely helpful for me if anyone here has been using one and knows their daily average? Mine's been in for over 4 years and is due a battery replacement. I've not seen a reduction. Would love to hear from other users how they feel the VNS 106 has helped them in their way of life.

The Aspire 106 vagus nerve stimulator works by sending small electrical pulses to the vagus nerve, which can help reduce seizure frequency. According to one MyEpilepsyTeam member's experience, their child has had the device for over 7 years and swiping it stops their seizures. Unfortunately there is no definitive data on the number of "auto-stims" to expect per day with the 106 device. This likely varies from person to person based on individual settings and response. Connecting with other 106 users, as you're doing here, is a great way to compare experiences and get a sense of expected auto-stim rates.
