Titration of vagus nerve stimulation for difficult-to-treat depression and onset of response: Early insights from the RESTORE-LIFE study
Journal of Affective Disorders1/1/2025·01/01/25🌐 Europe
Summary
This analysis from the RESTORE-LIFE observational study examined VNS titration patterns in the first 100 patients reaching 12-month follow-up. Most patients reached therapeutic current levels, with older age and higher baseline depression severity predictive of greater symptom reduction.
Why it matters
Understanding real-world VNS titration and response patterns informs clinical practice guidelines. The counterintuitive finding that more difficult-to-treat patients showed greater improvement highlights the need for personalized dosing strategies.
