There is renewed interest in the use of electrical stimulation to control seizures in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. The evidence indicates that multiple nuclei are involved in the onset, spread, or termination of ...

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...
“For Oran and his family, epilepsy completely changed their lives and so to see him riding a horse and getting his independence back is absolutely astounding. “We couldn’t be happier to be part of their journey.” Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a treatment involving surgery to insert a...
Deep Brain Stimulation for Epilepsy 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 treatin... CH Halpern,U ...
Significantly reduces patients’ most severe seizures, complex partial seizures, and incidence of epilepsy-related injury1 Patients who have tried vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) showed long-term improvement in seizure frequency with DBS1 Patients who have tried resective surgery...
BACKGROUND: Despite optimal medical treatment, including epilepsy surgery, many epilepsy patients have uncontrolled seizures. In the last decades, interest has grown in invasive intracranial neurostimulation as a treatment for these patients. Intracranial stimulation includes both deep brain stimulation (DBS...
