- tVNS Coma Symposium, Warsaw, Poland
"tVNS therapy in Comatose Patients" has been a focus research area in recent years in collaboration with esteemed scientists from various countries. The Coma Symposium brought together notable experts, including Prof. Dr. Halil Özcan, Head of the Psychiatry Department at Erzurum Atatürk University, Prof. Dr. Arshad Majid, Head of Neuroscience and Cerebrovascular Neurology at the University of Sheffield, UK, Prof. Armin Bolz, the scientist who has been developing of the patented tVNS technology from Germany, and Selin Erdoğan Gezen, Global Clinical Director at tVNS Health Gmbh. The symposium hosted the discussions on the use of tVNS in comatose patients, sharing clinical experiences, and exploring the future of this therapy. The meeting was held on November 14-15th, under the organization of the Akogo Foundation, committed to providing care at the highest international standards, employing advanced diagnostic tools and neurorehabilitation techniques, in two dedicated "Alarm Clock" Clinics, the first rehabilitation centers for children and adults, in Poland. The event was a highly productive scientific meeting where the use of tVNS in comatose patients across different countries was discussed, patient grou ps who has the potential to benefit from the therapy were identified, and future scientific collaborations and studies were initiated. Sessions also featured case reports from Turkey by esteemed doctors Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burcu Polat and Prof. Dr. Ercan Gürses , highlighting treatments applied to hypoxic patients. These sessions provided inspiration for future treatment protocols. In the coming days, we look forward to sharing the results of a clinical study on the application of tVNS therapy, with the hope that it will inspire and bring new possibilities. We remain committed to offering hope to patients considered untreatable through non-invasive, scientifically supported therapies. Our deepest gratitude goes to our esteemed doctors and scientists for their invaluable contributions to these efforts. A special thank you to Fundacja Ewy Błaszczyk Akogo? for hosting this impactful event and fostering collaboration to advance pediatric care. Together, we’re working towards brighter possibilities.

- A real life epilepsy story of Oguzhan: tVNS in Dravet Syndrome and Resistant Epilepsy
Zeliha Korkmaz, the mother of 7-year-old Oğuzhan, who battles resistant epilepsy and was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome at 4.5 months old, recently shared their transformative journey with tVNS. Oğuzhan endured numerous hospitalizations due to refractory seizures, even undergoing a ketogenic diet that eventually proved ineffective. Following his physician's recommendation, Oğuzhan began using tVNS in January 2022. Since then, the positive impact on his life has been remarkable — experiencing extended seizure-free periods, enhanced cognitive abilities, and an overall improved quality of life. At tVNS, we strive to contribute to a better world for human life by evolving treatments to meet the changing needs of our dynamic world.
