The device placed under the skin to help manage seizures is called a "vagus nerve stimulator" (VNS). It works by delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in individuals with epilepsy. The device is typically implanted during a minor surgical procedure and can be adjusted externally by a healthcare provider.
