New Treatment for Seizures
What is Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS)?
LGS is tough. Finding information shouldn’t be. That is why we provide information about this and other medications often used in LGS. We hope you find this information useful as you navigate your LGS journey.
In responsive neurostimulation, a surgeon implants a small battery-powered device called a neurostimulator in the patient’s skull. The surgeon connects the neurostimulator to thin wires, called leads, and places them in the areas of the brain where the patient’s seizures originate. The neurostimulator monitors the brain’s electrical activity. When the system detects brain activity that could lead to a seizure, the neurostimulator delivers a pulse of electrical stimulation through the leads. The electrical pulse may stop the seizure before it begins.
