&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;With RNS, surgeons impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lant a small battery-pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>owered device called a neurostimulator in the pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>atient&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;#039;s skull. The neurostimulator is connected to thin wires, called leads, which the surgeon pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>laces in the area or areas of the brain where the pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>atient&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;#039;s seizures originate. The neurostimulator monitors the brain&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;#039;s electrical activity, and when activity that could lead to a seizure is detected, it delivers a pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ulse of electrical stimulation through the leads. The electrical pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ulse may stopan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan> the seizure before it begins.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;Patients treated with RNS continue to take epan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ilepan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>sy medication, but their seizures may be better controlled than with medication alone. Because no brain tissue is removed, RNS pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>oses less risk to the pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>atient than other surgical treatments. Unlike conventional epan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ilepan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>sy surgery, RNS is reversible and the impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lant can be removed at any time.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;

Our pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>rogram uses a device called NeuroPace, which the FDA apan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>roved in 2013 to treat medically refractory epan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ilepan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>sy &an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;ampan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;mdash; epan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ilepan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>sy that is not well controlled by medication &an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;ampan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;mdash; in certain typan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>es of pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>atients.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;In clinical trials, nearly half the NeuroPace pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>atients saw the frequency of their seizures decrease by at least 50 pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ercent one year after impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lantation. The efficacy also apan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ears to increase over time. Three to six years after surgery, the median decrease in seizures was 60 pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ercent or more.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;

&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;You may be a good candidate for RNS if you meet the following criteria:&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;ul&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;li&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;You have pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>artial (focal) onset seizures.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/li&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;li&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;Your seizures originate in one or two areas of the brain.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/li&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;li&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;Your seizures are frequent and disabling, even after trying two or more anti-seizure medications.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/li&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/ul&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;RNS can be a good alternative to other surgical treatments if your seizures arise from an area of the brain that serves a critical function like span style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>eech or movement, making it difficult or impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ossible to surgically remove the seizure-causing tissue. &an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;

&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;Before surgery, you will undergo diagnostic tests to pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>inpan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>oint where seizures originate in your brain. The surgical team will use the results to determine how many leads to use and where to pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lace them in the brain.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;The impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lantation pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>rocedure generally takes three to four hours. The surgeon will make at least one incision in the scalpan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan> and skull to pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lace the neurostimulator and leads. The incisions to pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lace the leads are usually about the size of a quarter but may be larger. The neurostimulator is usually impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lanted on the side and toward the back of the head.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;The device is turned on in the opan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>erating room and initially pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>rogrammed only to record brain activity, without delivering electrical stimulation.

&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;About 10 to 14 days after surgery, you will visit the Epan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ilepan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>sy Center to check how your incisions are healing and how many seizures have been recorded. Your doctor will then pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>rogram the device to deliver stimulation when abnormal brain activity is detected. The neurostimulator will also continue to collect data on your brain activity.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;Most pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>atients don&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;#039;t feel the electrical pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ulses.

&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;You will return to the Epan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ilepan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>sy Center four to six weeks after surgery, and every three months thereafter, to monitor how the RNS is working. It can take as long as a year to see the full effects of RNS, and the frequency of seizures apan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>ears to continue to decline over time.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;You will be given a remote monitor that allows you to collect data from the neurostimulator and send it to your doctor. Your doctor will use the data to fine-tune the system&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;#039;s settings at future visits. The system also includes a magnet that instructs the neurostimulator to record brain activity when you swipan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>e it over the impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lant site during a seizure. You can also use the magnet to tempan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>orarily stopan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan> the stimulation.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;You will receive a wallet-sized medical impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lant identification card. Please carry this card with you at all times. You will need to show it when going through security systems at airpan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>orts or elsewhere.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;After the device is impan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>lanted, you must avoid certain medical treatments that could cause energy to travel through the device to the brain, leading to brain injury or death. These include MRI, diathermy, electroconvulsive therapan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>y and transcranial magnetic stimulation.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;

When your battery is low, you will need to have the neurostimulator surgically repan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>laced. Unless the leads also need to be repan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>laced, the new neurostimulator will be connected to the same leads.&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;lt;/pan style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>&an style="background-color: #ffff80;">ppan>;gt;
