“With Scan-Med as a partner we can be sure that epilepsy patients are very well supported regarding transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Norway“, said Dr. Andreas Hartlep, CEO of cerbomed GmbH.

About t-VNS with NEMOS
Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation is addressed to patients suffering from various difficult-to-treat neurological and psychiatric diseases. The t-VNS therapy uses the fact that a branch of the vagus nerve is located directly under the skin in areas of the outer ear and therefore can be stimulated through the skin (transcutaneously) with electrical impulses.
With NEMOS cerbomed developed and patented a special stimulator and a dedicated ear electrode for treatment of epilepsies with t-VNS. The stimulator, which is connected with the ear electrode, sends out the electrical impulses. With the transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulator NEMOS a targeted stimulation of the vagus nerve is possible without the need of a surgery.
