ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for indirectly stimulating a vagus nerve of a patient includes electrodes positioned within the esophagus, trachea, or a jugular vein of a patient, on the neck of the patient, or in combinations of these locations. The apparatus further includes a means for actuating the electrodes to create an electrical field for stimulating the vagus nerve.
