World's first epilepsy device fitted in 13 year old UK boy's skull; Here's how the device works

By Economic Times - 2 weeks ago
Oran Knowlson, a 13-year-old from England with severe epilepsy, has become the first person to trial a new device implanted in his skull to control seizures. The groundbreaking surgery, which took place at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, has reduced Oran's seizures by 80%. The device, a Picostim neurotransmitter, aims to disrupt abnormal brain signals causing epilepsy. Oran's improved quality of life following the surgery has brought hope to others with treatment-resistant epilepsy.
