Brain Stimulator Offers Hope for Individuals with Uncontrolled Epilepsy
From: Medical Design Technology - 04/23/2014

Rush University Medical Center is the first in the country to use the device
along with a unique electrode placement planning system

A recently FDA-approved device has been shown to reduce seizures in patients
with medication-resistant epilepsy by as much as 50 percent. When coupled
with an innovative electrode placement planning system developed by
physicians at Rush, the device facilitated the complete elimination of
seizures in nearly half of the implanted Rush patients enrolled in the
decade-long clinical trials.

The NeuroPace RNS System uses responsive, or "on-demand" direct stimulation
to detect abnormal electrical activity in the brain and deliver small amounts
of electrical stimulation to suppress seizures before they begin.
