Evidence for Thalamic Responsive Neurostimulation in Treatment of Adult and Pediatric Epilepsy

Meena Vessell et al.

Summary: Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) has shown effectiveness in patients with identifiable seizure foci, but there is emerging evidence suggesting its feasibility for nonfocal or multifocal epileptic profiles with thalamic targeting. This study describes two successful implantations of thalamic RNS (tRNS) targeting the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CMT), along with a literature review of reported tRNS cases. The findings show promising outcomes, with significant seizure reduction in both adult and pediatric patients.

Using chronic recordings from a closed-loop neurostimulation system to capture seizures across multiple thalamic nuclei

Bornali Kundu et al.

Summary: This case report describes a patient with unilateral diffuse frontotemporal epilepsy who was successfully treated with an implanted responsive neurostimulation system. Chronic recordings showed that ictal activity in the centromedian nucleus consistently preceded the anterior nucleus, suggesting the presence of a temporally organized seizure network involving the thalamus. This study demonstrates the potential efficacy of closed-loop neurostimulation of multiple thalamic nuclei in controlling seizures.

Responsive Neurostimulation of the Anterior Thalamic Nuclei in Refractory Genetic Generalized Epilepsy: A Case Series

Carly M. O'Donnell et al.

Summary: This study explores the use of responsive thalamic stimulation in patients with drug-resistant genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs). The results show significant improvement in seizure control for two patients and seizure freedom for one patient. These findings suggest that responsive thalamic stimulation may be an effective treatment option for GGEs.

Responsive Neurostimulation Targeting the Anterior, Centromedian and Pulvinar Thalamic Nuclei and the Detection of Electrographic Seizures in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients

Cameron P. Beaudreault et al.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the use of RNS System depth leads implanted in the thalamus to detect electrographic seizures. The results showed that thalamic leads, whether bilateral or unilateral, were able to successfully detect and terminate epileptiform activity. Thalamic nuclei are a promising target for seizure detection and stimulation with the RNS System, providing a reversible therapeutic option for patients who are not candidates for surgical resection or ablation.

Towards network-guided neuromodulation for epilepsy

Rory J. Piper et al.

Summary: Epilepsy is a disorder of brain networks, and researchers are identifying critical nodes within these networks to target therapies for seizures. Intracranial neuromodulation has proven effective in reducing seizures in both adults and children, and the convergence of these fields is driving a new era of network-guided neuromodulation for epilepsy. This review summarizes the current literature on network mechanisms underlying neurostimulation for epilepsy, focusing on key propagation points in the epileptogenic network. The authors discuss current clinical targets, such as the thalamic nuclei, as well as emerging targets like the pulvinar of the thalamus and the cerebellum. They also report on findings from various modalities of investigation, including EEG and MRI, that reveal the structural and functional networks associated with these propagation points. The authors emphasize the importance of using network analyses to determine patient eligibility for neurostimulation and delivering personalized stimulation based on individual epileptogenic networks.

Responsive Neurostimulation of the Thalamus for the Treatment of Refractory Epilepsy

Jorge A. Roa et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of the NeuroPace Responsive Neurostimulation System (NMS) in the treatment of refractory epilepsy. The results showed that NMS could achieve seizure control in approximately 65% of patients. Infections were the most common complication.

Experience and consensus on stimulation of the anterior nucleus of thalamus for epilepsy

Alfonso Fasano et al.

Summary: Deep brain stimulation of the anterior nuclei of thalamus (ANT-DBS) is effective for reducing seizures in patients with temporal or frontal epilepsy refractory to at least two medications. Motivations for therapy renewal upon battery depletion include reduced seizures, improved quality of life, and reduction of severe seizures. Stimulation parameters are mainly guided by magnetic resonance imaging and typically follow parameters similar to the SANTE study, with initial stimulation amplitudes in the 2-3 V or mA range.

The SANTe study at 10 years of follow-up: Effectiveness, safety, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Vicenta Salanova et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy, showing favorable outcomes with stable results. Reduction in frequency of the most severe seizure type may lower the risk of SUDEP. The SUDEP rate with DBS (2.0) is comparable to other neuromodulation treatments for drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

Case Report: Responsive Neurostimulation of the Centromedian Thalamic Nucleus for the Detection and Treatment of Seizures in Pediatric Primary Generalized Epilepsy

William P. Welch et al.

Summary: This study presents a 16-year-old male patient with drug-resistant primary generalized epilepsy and absence seizures, who achieved a 75% reduction in seizure frequency following bilateral responsive neurostimulation of the centromedian nuclei. The results demonstrate that CM RNS can detect and effectively treat seizures related to primary generalized epilepsy in the CM nucleus.

David Burdette et al.

Summary: This study explored the use of neurostimulation targeting the pulvinar to treat refractory regional onset epilepsy. Results showed that all patients responded positively to the treatment, with some experiencing over 90% reduction in seizure frequency. Pre- and postsurgical neuropsychological evaluations revealed no cognitive decline, with mild cognitive improvements reported in some cases.
