Responsive cortical stimulation for the treatment of medically intractable partial epilepsy.
OBJECTIVES This multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial assessed the safety and effectiveness of responsive cortical stimulation as an adjunctive therapy for partial onset seizures in adults with medically refractory epilepsy. METHODS A total of 191 adults with medically intractable partial epilepsy were implanted with a responsive neurostimulator connected to depth or subdural...
متن کاملResponsive cortical stimulation: the 21% solution?
Commentary Despite decades of antiepileptic drug development and refinements in neurosurgical treatment, many patients continue to have uncontrolled, disabling epilepsy. New methods to stop seizures are needed, and this report by Morrell et al. represents genuine innovation, because it uses an entirely new method to treat pharmacoresistant focal seizures.

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) (stimulation through depth electrodes) and cortical stimulation (subdural electrodes). ...

Despite the availability of multiple antiepileptic medications and surgical procedures with which to resect seizure foci, there is a subset of epilepsy patients for whom little can be done. Currently available treatment options for these unfortunate patients include vagus nerve stimulation, the ketogenic diet, and e...

[TOP] Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) may be considered medically necessary for patients with partial epilepsy who meet ALL of the following criteria: Are 18 years or older. Have a diagnosis of partial-onset seizures with 1 or 2 well-localized seizure foci identified. Have an average of 3 or more disabling seizures (e.g., motor partial seizures, complex partial seizures, or secondary ge...
