Résumé
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is emerging as a probable therapeutic option for headache. Several questions remain on the mechanism of action, device parameters, efficacy, duration of treatment and long-term safety. This review aims at describing findings of recent literature pertaining to VNS for headache, to put these findings into the perspective of our current fund of knowledge and future scope of work on the topic. Several studies on functional magnetic resonance imaging patterns following VNS in patients with headache have been published, revealing potential biomarkers of headache and possible treatment effects. A study on post-COVID-19 headache and its management with noninvasive cervical VNS adds to the body of original studies. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews outlining previous work have been published. The collection of these studies adds some data to mechanisms of VNS without adding much insight to differential effects of sub-types of VNS and possible device settings that could prove to be beneficial for headache management. Well designed studies are needed to identify mechanisms of action, elicit differential effects of various stimulation parameters, and to demonstrate long-term therapeutic effects and safety of VNS in headache.
