Has anyone ever tried deep brain stimulation to treat their epilepsy?

How did it go and has it improved your life?

  1. I've had my DBS since Dec. 2022. It has made a huge difference in my life. As I type this no seizures since 9/30/24. Which is wonderful for me. I also have the VNS and am still on 3 AEDs. We're discussing stopping one med but I'm not liking that idea just yet. Thanks for this post.

    1. how have you been doing lately? I’ve included some additional information on deep brain stimulation that may be helpful https://epilepsydisease.com/neuromodulation-devices. Is this something you’ve been discussing with your doctor? -Julie (team member)
