The RECOVER Trial of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Markedly Treatment-Resistant Depression: Critical Findings, Lessons Learned, and Future Directions.

Over 80% of participants who achieved meaningful benefit in symptom, function, or QoL measures after 12 months of active VNS retained these benefits at the 18- and 24-month assessments, demonstrating remarkable durability in participants expected to relapse at high rates.
