With the next couple weeks, the FDA is expected to issue its final approval of vagus nerve stimulation as a coarse of action for chronic or even recurrent depression. The approval of vagus nerve stimulation will be the 1st ever FDA approved long-term coarse of action option for the 4 million desperate Americans( and their families) who haven't had an adequate response to traditional anti-depressants.

Stimulation to the left vagus nerve has been proven to favorably modulate those ares of the brain that are responsible for mood and depression. The procedure is unrelated to brain surgery or even electroconvulsive therapy. The stimulator is implanted in the patient's upper left chest, just beneath the arm pit. A lead wire is then tunneled underneath the skin and coiled around the left vagus nerve in the neck. For cosmectic reasons, the incision is at the lowest fold of the patient's neck. The scar heals incredibly quickly and is barely noticeable as it's hard to diffentiate between the fold and the healed scar.
