Jan 06, 2022
New Delhi, January 06 (ANI): According to a new research by Rutgers University, a surgical treatment commonly used to reduce epileptic seizures in adults is also effective and safe for children. The study has been published in the 'Neurosurgery Journal'. The study is one of the first to investigate the responsive neurostimulation system (RNS). Researchers looked at 35 children and young adults from the age group of 3 to 25 with drug-resistant epilepsy who were treated with RNS. They found out that 84 per cent had a reduction in disabling seizures, including 18 per cent who had a reduction of more than 90 per cent.
