Clinical Challenge

Seizure control remains difficult

Living with drug-resistant epilepsy means seizures persist despite multiple medications. Pulsetto offers a device-assisted approach designed to complement treatment.

You may experience these effects during therapy:

Reduced seizure frequency
Improved sleep quality
Better daytime alertness
Less anxiety
Enhanced mood
Fewer medication side effects

How the vagus nerve influences seizures

Vagus nerve as seizure modulator

The vagus nerve influences autonomic balance and brain networks linked to seizure generation and spread.

Chronic stimulation aids stability

Regular cervical stimulation yields ongoing engagement of autonomic circuits, supporting neural network regulation.

Muscle-like training concept

Repeated stimulation conditions neural circuits to favor a calmer baseline state, akin to training a muscle.

Non-invasive delivery

Stimulation is applied through the skin, avoiding surgery while targeting vagal pathways.

How It Works

Vagus modulation stabilizes brain networks

Brief, regular stimulation supports autonomic balance and reduces hyperexcitability prior to seizures.

1

Quick calming effect

Initial sessions can bring a noticeable calming shift that helps you prepare for sleep and reduce pre-seizure tension.

2

Parasympathetic shift

Stimulation nudges the nervous system toward rest-and-digest, supporting daytime resilience.

3

Heart rate stability

Heart rate variability often improves with consistent use, reflecting autonomic balance.

4

Clearer thinking

Enhanced daytime focus can accompany better sleep, aiding daily functioning.

What to Expect

4-week use timeline for epilepsy signals

Consistency yields clearer patterns of change in seizure frequency and sleep quality.

1
Day 1

You feel the shift

Early users report calmer baseline physiology and a quieter mind after the first session.

2
Week 1

Sleep gets easier

Seizure patterns and sleep continue to improve with regular use through week 1.

3
Week 4

Measurable change

Seizure frequency and sleep metrics trend downward; daytime function stabilizes.

4
Week 8

Sustained calm

Vagal tone remains elevated; seizure control and sleep quality maintain gains.
