At Zulekha Hospital Sharjah, Vagal Nerve Stimulator for Epilepsy is performed using specialised neurosurgical and neuromodulation techniques with comprehensive epilepsy assessment. Established in 1992, this JCI- accredited hospital in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates has 185 beds and offers advanced epilepsy monitoring, neurosurgery, and neurological services.

Vagal Nerve Stimulator for Epilepsy may be considered for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who are not adequately controlled with medication and, in selected cases, are not suitable candidates for resective epilepsy surgery. Before implantation, the epilepsy team evaluates seizure type, frequency, previous treatments, brain imaging, EEG findings, and overall health. The stimulator is implanted under the skin of the chest, with a thin lead connected to the vagus nerve to deliver controlled electrical stimulation.
