Summary
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can safely reduce seizures in 22 children aged 5-14 with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. The device, called Picostim, is implanted in the brain and delivers electrical pulses. The trial is double-blind and randomized, meaning some children receive active stimulation while others do not, to measure the true effect on seizure frequency.
