Restoration of Nerve Functionality in Neurological Disorders

Over the years, the burden of neurological diseases is increasing in emerging countries. According to estimates by the WHO, 4.5-11% of illnesses in both low- and high-income economies is triggered due to neurological disorders. The situation is more critical as compared to the patients suffering from respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disorders, or cancers.

It is expected that the burden is expected to increase further over the forecast period. Neurological failure can also lead to permanent paralysis or disability, which becomes burden not only for the patients but also to their families. To overcome such complex situations, Vagus Nerve Stimulator therapy for last decades has been in use to overcome the improving neurological tremors, and dyskinesia, among others.

This system creates muscle contraction and is able to restore functionality of motor nerve. Besides, vagus nerve stimulators can also be used in patients for bladder control, restoration of hand grasp, and movement. Vagus nerve stimulator can be used for normalizing other neurological disorders such as migraines, Crohn's disease, Asthma, depression, headaches and cardiovascular diseases.

Next-generation Technology - Possible Future Therapy for Neurological Disorders

Over the last two decades, treatment and gene delivery using vectors as carrier have been in peak of research to treat various neurological disorders. Also, vector-based gene modification have undergone remarkable changes against rising demand for transgene delivery to the host. For instance, vector development to treat patients with nervous system disorders using gene-induced vectors have undergone massive advancements.

Additionally, other vectors, e.g., lentiviral vector, has also been used widely in CNS gene therapy, as the vector has a larger transgene capacity. Besides, Herpes simplex virus and adenoviral vectors have also been utilized to treat CNS disorders. With advancements in next generation technology, it could possibly replace the shortcomings of implantable vagus nerve stimulators.

Paradigm Shift Towards Minimally Invasive VNS Procedures

Over the past decades, it is been observed that Implantable VNS is associated with surgically related infections and abnormal complexities such as dysrhythmia, cough, paresthesia, pain and voice alteration, which gradually decreases the prevalence over time.

To overcome such side effects of implantable vagus nerve stimulator, companies such as Cerbomed and Electrocore in this decade have made commendable progress in their product research to introduce noninvasive vagus nerve stimulators to the world.

The devices were initially introduced in European region. Gradually, with recent FDA approvals and clearance for noninvasive vagus nerve stimulator product marketing and licensing, the devices have made strides and being accepted globally in various neurological treatment.

It is expected that the external vagus nerve stimulator is expected to provide an advanced hygienic and noninfectious profile as it does not requires implantation. Additionally, the external VNS devices are more effective in terms of treatment and are also affordable for patients.

High Maintenance and Device Costs to Restrain Adoption of Vagus Nerve Stimulators

In a research study, it is reported that 105 patients receiving vagus nerve stimulator system treatment from 1999 to 2008, twenty (19%) patients had encountered device-related technical failures and complications. Amongst device failures, first the device was removed in 8 cases.

Others also encountered some of the device-associated complications such as electrode malfunction, onset of wound infections & cardiac arrhythmia and posttraumatic dysfunction of the stimulator.

Vagus nerve stimulator therapy is also associated with wide array of possible complications. Other simultaneous technical failures include malfunction of dislocation, and generator. The major complication occurs in children, and the primary reason being electrode fracture, which might be induced by growth during the adolescence stage.

Once the neurologist prescribes vagus nerve stimulation therapy as one option for treatment of any neurological disorder, there comes this question as how much this treatment costs. The cost of vagus nerve stimulator therapy currently is high, including both the implant and surgical procedure. Costs of surgery and post-surgical care may vary in different parts of the world and may further increase over time.

Many insurance companies, such as Medicare and most Medicaid carriers, in the West cover almost all the costs of the vagus nerve stimulator therapy. However, people qualifying for vagus nerve stimulator therapy but without insurance cover or external funds need to pay the whole amount for the implant, which becomes a long-term burden for the patient.

Definition

Implantable vagus nerve stimulator is a neuromodulation device, which is surgically implanted inside the skin of the chest, and a wire is inserted under the skin connecting the device to the left vagus nerve. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulator (tVNS) or noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation devices do not require any surgical implantation. The devices are handheld and used to treat epilepsy, pain-management and pain.
