What is Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation used for?

Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation is an investigational therapy being studied for the treatment of epilepsy and seizure disorders. It is a form of nerve stimulation that is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. The therapy is being evaluated for its potential to reduce seizure activity in patients with epilepsy.

Who makes Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation?

Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation is being developed by Boston Scientific Corporation, a medical device company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BSX. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate this therapy for epilepsy and seizure disorders.

What phase is Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation in?

Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The therapy is being studied for the treatment of epilepsy and seizure disorders, with one completed Phase 2 clinical trial.

What clinical trials is Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation in?

Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT01159431, titled "External Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation for Epilepsy." This Phase 2 study enrolled 50 participants in the United States and was a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial involving adults aged 18 years and older.

Is Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation the same as external trigeminal nerve stimulation?

Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation refers to the therapy being developed by Boston Scientific Corporation for epilepsy. The completed clinical trial NCT01159431 specifically evaluated external trigeminal nerve stimulation, which is a non-invasive form of this therapy. The terms are used interchangeably in the context of this investigational treatment.
