Lauren shares her life changing experience after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) treatment for epilepsy. One in three people are not responding to medications to treat epilepsy.
After vagus nerve stimulation, Lauren was able to join the music industry, because the seizures caused by epilepsy no longer interfered with her daily life.
Dr. Mohankumar Kurukumbi, Medical Director of Epilepsy Services at Inova Fairfax Hospital and with Inova Medical Group Neurology cared for Lauren and implanted the VNS device.
VNS is not brain surgery, so has fewer risks to treat epilepsy, so patients can be seizure free. Lauren has a "sense of control" that she never had when she was only taking medications to treat her epilepsy.
