Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS)
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) is a treatment for epilepsy that involves surgery where a small device, called a neurostimulator, is placed in a child’s skull. The device continuously monitors brain activity and detects patterns that could lead to a seizure. When it identifies this activity, the neurostimulator sends electrical pulses to the brain to interrupt the seizure before it starts.
