Brain pacemaker shows promise for rare childhood epilepsy
NCT ID NCT06464653
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of specific brain pathways can safely reduce seizures in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. Five participants receive the electrical stimulation as an add-on to their usual treatment. The goal is to see if seizure frequency drops by at least half and if quality of life improves.
