Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Vagus nerve stimulation prevents seizures by sending regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brain via the vagus nerve. It is sometimes referred to as a "pacemaker for the brain." A stimulator device is implanted under the skin in the chest.

In angina, GTN works by widening blood vessels (veins and arteries). This increases the blood supply to your heart, which gets more oxygen to your heart muscles and this reduces chest pain.

It works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. It also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg.

Implant users had modest increases in body size and a 2 percent increase in body fat. A 2016 study found that the hormonal birth control implant did not directly cause weight gain. However, women who were told that the implant might cause weight gain were more likely to think they had gained weight.

They essentially work like pimple liposuction. The material in the patch physically draws gunk out of the blemish; it then gets sucked into the patch and away from your skin.

If the implant is fitted during the first 5 days of your menstrual cycle, you'll be immediately protected against becoming pregnant. If it's fitted on any other day of your menstrual cycle, you'll need to use additional contraception (such as condoms) for 7 days.

The birth control implant (AKA Nexplanon) is a tiny, thin rod about the size of a matchstick. The implant releases hormones into your body that prevent you from getting pregnant. A nurse or doctor inserts the implant into your arm and that's it — you're protected from pregnancy for up to 5 years.

PTNS works by indirectly providing electrical stimulation to the nerves responsible for bladder and pelvic floor function. During PTNS treatment, the patient's foot is comfortably elevated and supported. Also during treatment, a slim needle electrode is placed near the nerve at the ankle known as the tibial nerve.

To prevent the rotating or shifting of these shaped implants, the shell of the gummy bear implant is typically textured, which allows the tissue around it to grow into it, somewhat like Velcro. These shaped, textured implants have been shown to have a lower rate of a complication called capsular contracture.

How does EKOS® Catheter work? The EKOS EkoSonic® Endovascular System generates ultrasonic energy waves which emit high frequency, low power ultrasound at the treatment zone. The ultrasound emanates radially into and through blood, thrombus, or tissue surrounding the treatment zone, within the patient's vasculature.

How Do These Drugs Work? SNRIs work by blocking the reabsorption (or reuptake) of serotonin and norepinephrine back into the nerve cells that released them, which increases the levels of active neurotransmitters in the brain.

The implant can be removed at any time by a specially trained doctor or nurse. It only takes a few minutes to remove, and a local anaesthetic will be used. The doctor or nurse will make a tiny cut in your skin to gently pull the implant out.

The implant is one of the most effective birth control methods out there — it's more than 99% effective. That means fewer than 1 out of 100 people who use the implant get pregnant each year. The implant works by releasing the hormone progestin into your body.

How does the birth control patch work? The birth control patch prevents pregnancy by stopping sperm from joining with an egg (which is called fertilization). Like most birth control pills, the patch contains the hormones estrogen and progestin. These are similar to the hormones our bodies make naturally.

Vagus nerve stimulation prevents seizures by sending regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brain via the vagus nerve. It is sometimes referred to as a "pacemaker for the brain." A stimulator device is implanted under the skin in the chest.

The implant is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy — meaning it's on-par with the IUD and more effective than birth control pills when it comes to pregnancy prevention — and can be removed at any time prior if you want to get pregnant or switch methods of birth control.

When the implant stretches and rests on the nerves in your breast and nipple tissue, the nerves become inflamed and often cause pain, tingling and burning. Generally these symptoms are present the first 1 to 3 weeks and then get much better.
