Brain-responsive neurostimulation may be an effective treatment option for patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, according to a recent study of 111 subjects. When following up for an average of 6.1 years on patients who had the procedure, researchers found it reduced seizures by a median average of 70%. Twenty-nine percent of patients had at least 1 seizure free period that lasted at least 6 months and 15% had at least 1 seizure free period lasting at least 1 year.
