- RNS System, VNS, DBS | Epilepsy Neurostimulation Devices - NeuroPace, Inc.
Neurostimulators treat focal seizures with electrical pulses when medications aren’t enough and removing or destroying brain tissue may cause harm You and your doctors can choose from among three approved options, with key differences in seizure targeting and data recording
- Comparison and Selection of Current Implantable Anti-Epileptic Devices
For one focus in eloquent cortex, RNS may have an advantage over DBS and VNS, whereas ANT-DBS may be more efficacious in temporal lobe epilepsy and if limbic structures are involved (though the temporal lobe is likely non-eloquent)
- Nine-year prospective efficacy and safety of brain-responsive . . .
Neuromodulation approaches, including vagus nerve stimulation 4, 5 (VNS), deep brain stimulation 6, 7 (DBS), and brain-responsive neurostimulation 8 – 10 (RNS System, NeuroPace, Inc), have been demonstrated to be safe and effective treatments to reduce seizure frequency for these patients
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) epilepsy control, Cyberonics VNS . . .
NeuroPace is continuing a clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of their RNS to reduce seizure frequency Epilepsy is a complex disease, and seizure frequency is often highly variable, may be influenced by changes in medications, and placebo effects can be quite strong
- Critical review of the responsive neurostimulator system for epilepsy
Currently, in the US, the only approved device for direct electrical brain stimulation for epilepsy is the responsive neurostimulator system (RNS, NeuroPace, Inc , Mountain-view, CA, USA) This device is approved for partial-onset, medically refractory epilepsy
- Responsive Neurostimulation for Seizures | Epilepsy Foundation
On average, only about 60% of people can be free of disabling seizures from removal of a seizure focus in the temporal lobe VNS Therapy or dietary therapies, such as the ketogenic diet, may help many people Another option is responsive neurostimulation
- The comparison of DBS and RNS for adult drug-resistant epilepsy: a . . .
Neuromodulation has been proven to be a promising alternative treatment for adult patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) Deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) were approved by many countries for the treatment of
- Anterior nucleus of the thalamus deep brain stimulation vs temporal . . .
Based on the promising results of randomized controlled trials, deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) are used increasingly in the treatment of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy
