Not all children with epilepsy can get VNS or Vagus Nerve Stimulation as epilepsy treatment for children. It depends on the condition of the child and his age. The right age for your child to become a good candidate for Vagus Nerve Stimulation is 12 years old and above. This is what is approved. However, there are some children who are younger than 12 years old who can be good candidates for VNS. If your child is in the right age and have tried medications for epilepsy or anti-epileptic drugs and did not get treated, you can ask your doctor if he can get Vagus Nerve Stimulation.
