Day and night programming – Physicians have unrivaled flexibility to customize therapy when their patients need it at specific times, day or night.
“Since every patient suffering from seizures is different, we need more treatment options. SenTiva and the VNS Therapy Programming System will provide that additional flexibility and customization for our patients,” said Dr. James Wheless, Professor and Chief of Pediatric Neurology of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. “SenTiva is especially ideal for our pediatric patients. With VNS Therapy’s recently expanded age range, many more children living with drug-resistant seizures will have the opportunity for treatment beyond medication. Studies show that earlier use of VNS Therapy is proven to offer better long-term outcomes for children at a critical time in their development.”1,2,3
