Interventions
Responsive stimulation
The RNS System provides closed loop responsive brain stimulation. The Neurostimulator monitors the electrical activity of the brain to detect abnormal activity that could lead to a seizure. If abnormal activity is detected, the neurostimulator delivers electrical stimulation to the brain through the leads to help prevent the seizure before it occurs.
Sham stimulation
For those in the Sham Stimulation group, the RNS System will be set to detect abnormal activity but will not have responsive stimulation enabled. Both Sham and Active groups will undergo therapy testing at each appointment in order to maintain the blind.
