Description We evaluated the effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in 32 epileptic patients (18 females; 14 males) with an average age of 42.2 +/- 11.4 years, all of whom had been suffering from epilepsy for an average of 29.2 +/- 14.5 years. All of the patients had received VNS for 5 years.
