New Surgical Options for Refractory Epilepsy 🧠🔬

[@actoutcomedy8995]

Thank you for the wonderful presentation, doc! I'm a 52 year old male and have had seizures since I was 13 after a head injury. Luckily I don't have them while I'm fully awake, they always strike when I'm in the twilight phase of light sleep. The weird thing is I am fully aware I'm having a seizure and can hear what's going on around me, such as the TV. I hope that one day I'll be a candidate for a surgical procedure if they can determine where my seizures are coming from. Although it's not yet FDA approved for Epilepsy, I would love to hear your thoughts on focused ultrasound for ablation. There's also a company called Neurona Therapeutics that provides stem cells to surgeons who then surgically insert the cells into the seizure site. Apparently the early results have been very promising. Again, thanks for the excellent presentation.
