Review
Invasive Brain Computer Interface for Motor Restoration in Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review.
Systematic review of the literature. ⋯ Invasive techniques of BCI show promise for the treatment of SCI, but there is currently no technology that can restore complete functional autonomy in patients with SCI. The current techniques and outcomes of BCI vary greatly. Because invasive BCIs are still in the early stages of development, further clinical studies should be conducted to optimize the prognosis for patients with SCI.

Review Meta Analysis
Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation for Neurogenic Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This review aims to assess the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ TENS may be an effective treatment option for neurogenic bladder after SCI.

Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) can have devastating consequences for patients and families. Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is used as a surgical adjunct for treating DRE not amenable to surgical resection. Although VNS is generally safe, it has its inherent complications. With the increasing number of implantations, adequate patient education with discussion of possible complications forms a critical aspect of informed consent and patient counseling. There is a lack of large-scale reviews of device malfunction, patient complaints, and surgically related complications available to date. ⋯ We present an analysis of the MAUDE data base for adverse events and complications related to VNS. It is hoped that this description of complications and literature review will help promote further improvement in its safety profile, patient education, and management of both patient and clinician expectations.
