PROFILE |
 |
Cyberonics makes the first medical device to be cleared by the FDA for treating epilepsy. The NeuroCybernetic Prosthesis (NCP) is a pacemaker-like device implanted under the collarbone with a lead attached to the vagus nerve in the neck. The device delivers intermittent signals to the brain, dubbed vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), to control epileptic seizures. The signals can be programmed by the physician with a personal computer; patients can activate additional signals with a hand-held magnet if they feel a seizure coming on. The NCP System is also approved for use in Canada, the European Union, and other countries. The company is testing VNS as a treatment for chronic depression and obesity.
