Summary
This study tests a brain-responsive neurostimulation system (RNS) in 24 people aged 12 and older with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that doesn't respond to medication. The device is implanted in the brain and delivers small electrical pulses to stop seizures before they start. The goal is to see if it safely reduces the number of drop seizures by at least 35%.
