Implantable brain device aims to tame Drug-Resistant seizures
NCT ID NCT07301346
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called EASEE® that is implanted under the skin and above the skull to stimulate the brain and reduce seizures in people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Two hundred adults will receive the implant, and half will have the stimulation turned on for 6 months to compare seizure reduction. The goal is to see if the device is safe and effective over 18 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- implantable brain stimulator (EASEE® System)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new, minimally invasive option to reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early pivotal study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include surgical complications and the device may not reduce seizures for all.
