Learn about deep brain stimulation as a treatment for epilepsy. Find details about the surgery, living with the therapy, and other helpful resources.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been used to treat intractable epilepsy, with proven safety. Recently data suggests that DBS can not only improve the seizure control, but also improved cognitive function. This review summarizes the effects of DBS on cognitive impairment in epilepsy, including the...
This chapter focuses on the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of epilepsy. There has been an explosion of research into implantable devices for treating pharmaco-resistant epilepsy due to the success of DBS in treating movement disorders combined with its advantages of adjustabi...
Deep brain stimulation has been used effectively for many years to treat patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Now, neurologists and neurosurgeons are using electric pulse generators to block abnormal activity, i.e. epileptic fits. Promising research results indicate that electric pulses implante...
A teenager who is the first patient to take part in a clinical trial to use deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat epilepsy has seen his daytime seizures reduce by 80 per cent. Oran, who had been having severe epileptic seizures for eight years and often needed resuscitation, was the first...
