Brain Device Reduced Seizures For Many Children With LGS
This study looked at outcomes of responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a severe epilepsy that is often hard to control with medicine.

This pilot evaluation looked at a new “Epilepsy Transition Clinic” started in 2023 at one institution for young people moving from pediatric epilepsy care to adult epilepsy care.
This paper was a systematic review, which means the authors gathered and combined results from earlier studies.
This paper did not test the ketogenic diet in a new group of children.
This study was a systematic review with meta-analysis.
This study looked at how quickly antiseizure medicines were reduced during hospital stays in an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU), where video-EEG is used to record seizures for diagnosis and treatment planning.
This paper was a scoping review, which means the authors gathered and mapped existing research rather than testing one treatment.
This study looked at cenobamate used as an add-on seizure medicine in children, teens, and young adults with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Researchers studied how brain activity spreads from one brain region to another, and whether similar patterns apply to both epilepsy-related activity and physiological spontaneous activity.
