… , called block efficacy, for evaluating the status of KES nerve block. This approach enables
quantitative validation and evaluation of the effects of KES nerve block. Quantification of block …

Background Vagal nerve blockade (vBloc) therapy was shown to be a safe and effective
treatment for moderate to severe obesity. This report summarizes the safety and efficacy of …

… has been reported, but without documentation of afferent effects or of evoked activation of
nerve fibers. It is therefore unclear whether anodal block in VNS is a viable mechanism to …

… , and known mechanisms of vagal nerve stimulation and vagal blockade will be discussed.
… performed, looking at the effect of chronic cervical vagus nerve stimulation on metabolism (…

… side-effects. It has the potential to achieve greater specificity and provide crucial information
about vagal nerve physiology. Anodal block achieves strong side-effect mitigation too, but is …

… This investigation has demonstrated that the beneficial effects of an intermittent VBLOC seen
after 12 months of therapy were maintained at 24 months. The average EWL at 12 months …

… To evaluate the effect of vagus nerve stimulation therapy on the autonomic nervous system,
… the left vagal branch predisposes the heart to conduction block at the atrioventricular node. …

… Intermittent vagal blockade using the vBloc device for 24 months in the ReCharge Trial …
Vagal block treated participants achieved 21 % EWL (8 % TWL) at 24 months, similar to the …

… Citation61 Another potential proposed mechanism for the effect of VNS on weight is reduced
… However, selective blockade of vagal fibers using different electrical stimulation parameters …

… If VNS treatment exerts benefits mainly through its anti-beta-adrenergic action, beta-blockade
should cover these effects. Clinical study is difficult to verify this hypothesis. There is no …
