Unearthing the mechanisms of responsive neurostimulation for epilepsy [PDF]
Communications Medicine, 2023 Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is an effective therapy for people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. In clinical trials, RNS therapy results in a meaningful reduction in median seizure frequency, but the response is highly variable across individuals,

Responsive Neurostimulation for Seizure Control: Current Status and Future Directions
Biomedicines, 2022 Electrocorticography (ECoG) data are commonly obtained during drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) workup, in which subdural grids and stereotaxic depth electrodes are placed on the cortex for weeks at a time, with the goal of elucidating seizure origination ...

The Utility of Responsive Neurostimulation for the Treatment of Pediatric Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Brain Sciences, 2023 Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) has a strongly negative impact on quality of life, as well as the development of pediatric patients. Surgical treatments have evolved over time, including more invasive craniotomies for resection or disconnection.
