Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy (VNS Therapy®) for Patients with Difficult-to-Treat Depression: RESTORE-LIFE Study
 

About 30% of depressive patients cannot be successfully treated with the initial treatment; it is called treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

The RESTORE-LIFE study is carried out at the University Hospital of Bonn in partnership with LivaNova, Sponsor of the study.

RESTORE-LIFE is an international post-market observational study evaluating VNS-therapy® as adjunctive treatment and is designed to assess the short- and long-term effectiveness and efficiency of outcomes in TRD patients. Data are collected on their response to treatment, quality of life, productivity and health care utilization. The follow-up phase lasts 3-5 years.
