Abstract

Epilepsy affects all ages and is a common, disabling serious neurological disease often associated with comorbidities. The disease presents a heavy clinical, economic, and societal burden with a continued treatment gap that deserves the attention of healthcare decision-makers. A considerable number of patients do not respond satisfactorily to drug treatment and/or are ineligible for resective epilepsy surgery. Implant surgery offers a therapeutic option for these patients. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) are neuromodulation devices that intervene directly in neural circuits and present interesting clinical results in seizure control.
