Summary
This small 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 implant as an add-on to their usual treatment. The main goal is to see if seizure frequency drops by at least half and if quality of life improves.
