Deep brain stimulation of the thalamus for intractable epilepsy (FRANCE study): A randomized clinical trial

Our study suggests a potential benefit rather than demonstrating superiority of ANT-DBS over medical therapy. However, within-group improvements and favorable safety profile support the use of ANT-DBS as a palliative treatment option in patients with DRE who have failed VNS.

Abstract

Our study suggests a potential benefit rather than demonstrating superiority of ANT-DBS over medical therapy. However, within-group improvements and favorable safety profile support the use of ANT-DBS as a palliative treatment option in patients with DRE who have failed VNS.
