, Kim Houck, MDRésumé |

The various neuromodulation options available today for epilepsy management have proven efficacy primarily in adult trials. These include open-loop stimulation with invasive vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation, as well as closed-loop responsive neurostimulation. The use of neurostimulation therapy to treat intractable epilepsy in children is growing. This article reviews the literature, historical background, and current principles in pediatric patients.
