Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy is widely understood to provide clinically meaningful improvements in seizure control to patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, and has been a staple in the clinical armamentaria available to epileptologists for over 25 years. Despite the long history of evidence-based reviews by neurology professional societies, there is still evidence of a practice gap in VNS titration and dosing that aims to maximize clinical benefit. Recent retrospective analyses have strongly argued for a more consistent application of a population-wide target dose of VNS, and further argued the importance of quickly achieving this target dose to hasten the onset of clinical benefits; however, these analyses failed to provide evidence for practical implementation. Herein, we describe a randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of titrating VNS according to three different protocols to achieve the target dose of 1.5 mA at 500µsec, for a 20-Hz signal frequency. The study was registered as NCT02385526 on March 11, 2015. Sixty-two patients were randomized into treatment groups that followed different titration protocols. One protocol (Group A) was designed to align with currently accepted professional guidance for VNS titration and the manufacturer's labeling for VNS in epilepsy (Heck et al., 2002), while the other two protocols were derived from VNS applications in other therapeutic areas. Group A participants were most likely to achieve the target dose parameters in 12 weeks or less (81.8%), with a median time-until-achievement of the target dose of 8.1 weeks, while less than 60% of patients in other groups were able to achieve the same endpoint. Participants in all groups experienced low levels of transient tolerability concerns and adverse events, suggesting titration to the target dose in 12 weeks or less following the Group A protocol is generally acceptable to most patients. These findings indicate that patients receiving VNS for epilepsy can achieve the manufacturer-recommended dose range in 12 weeks or less. A wider implementation of the approach will likely improve the clinical impact of VNS on seizure control and prevent undertreatment.
