Deep Brain Stimulation Post Failed Vagal Nerve Stimulation

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2019
This is a multicenter, non-blinded, patient preference comparative trial for efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on drug-resistant epilepsy compared to continued vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) optimization in children with failed VNS. The two conditions being compared are therefore DBS (treatment) versus VNS (control). Fifty (50) patients will be recruited and enrolled in this pilot study (25 from The Hospital for Sick Children and 50 from CHU Sainte-Justine).
