Patient Identification & Education

As with any therapeutic option, early and accurate patient identification is critical to achieving desirable health outcomes. Cyberonics has created the PIQ process, or Patient Identification and Qualification for VNS Therapy™, to assist you in identifying VNS Therapy candidates. Effective physician-patient communication is a large part of determining which patients might benefit, so we have provided some tools to guide discussions with patients about pharmacoresistant epilepsy and VNS Therapy. With new patient education materials and a variety of support initiatives available, VNS Therapy is easier than ever to incorporate in your practice.
