Need to have separate entries for each. Reference to the mfr. of the vagus nerve stimulator suggests an attempt to equate two very different treatments, in order to make one seem equivalent to the other.

Articles already exist on deep brain stimulation and vagus nerve stimulation. Part of this article seems to have been copied from here: http://www.cbc.ca/story/science/national/2005/02/28/neurosurgery050228.html?ref=rss (possible copyvio) - GridEpsilon 01:21, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


This is a very nonspecific term, and not one which would be used by a neurologist. The devices used for epilepsy and for parkinson's disease are quite different. I would just delete the page entirely, and redirect the term 'brain pacemaker' to either 'vagal nerve stimulator' for epilepsy, or 'deep brain stimulator' for parkinson's disease and movement disorders.
