Scientists implant 'Calming' brain cells to stop uncontrollable seizures

NCT ID NCT06422923

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether implanting specially engineered 'calming' nerve cells into both sides of the brain can reduce seizures in adults with severe epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. Ten participants will receive a one-time injection of these cells, which are designed to release a natural chemical that quiets overactive brain circuits. Researchers will monitor safety and track whether seizure frequency decreases over two years of follow-up.
