Neuromodulation programming
Participants will be brought in for their standard follow-up appointments at 4-weeks, 4-months, and 1-year post-surgery. In addition to the routine care, physiological data will be extracted from the implanted device and analyzed. The physiological data will be considered along with the standard epilepsy diary to assess epileptic burden and inform device programming. Quality of life will be measured with a series of standard questionnaires pre-surgery and at the 1-year follow-up.
