The variation of IL-1β and PTX-3 seem to be related to a better outcome; thus, they do not reach statistical significance and a larger series of patients is needed to determine whether biochemical changes could relay with the clinical improvement of epilepsy.

The results using the RED/VIOLET LLLT for VNS might be useful in conditions in which it is necessary to induce an increment of brain activity in many conditions, like in depression, neurorehabilitation, in coma, in disorders of consciousness, in dementia, and in patients complaining autism.
