Find Relief, Regain Control – Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Surgery Package
For patients struggling with drug-resistant epilepsy or treatment-resistant depression, Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) offers a powerful, life-enhancing option.
This minimally invasive procedure involves implanting a small pulse generator under the skin near the chest, which sends gentle electrical signals to the brain via the vagus nerve in the neck helping to reduce seizure frequency or improve mood stability.
The package includes a thorough neurological assessment, pre-op imaging, the surgical procedure, device programming, and follow-up care to adjust stimulation settings for optimal results. You’ll also benefit from a private hospital stay, VIP airport–hotel–hospital transfers, and multilingual support, ensuring you’re comfortable, informed, and supported every step of the way.
