The Cutting Edge: Research in Deep Brain Stimulation for Epilepsy
Description:
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a medical therapy in which an implanted device delivers electrical stimulation to regions deep in the brain. Some uses of DBS to treat movement disorders such as tremor and Parkinson's disease are currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, while other uses are considered investigational. The use of DBS to treat epilepsy is in the early stages of research.
