Israel Implants First Non-Invasive Brain Pacemaker for Epilepsy
Summarized from Israel National News by baba
Clalit-Beilinson Hospital in Israel has implanted the EASEE brain stimulation system, a non-invasive device for epilepsy treatment, in its first patient, Olga Moisa. This German-developed technology stimulates the brain from beneath the scalp, offering an alternative for patients unresponsive to medication or unsuitable for surgery. Israel is the first country outside Europe to use the system, which aims to reduce seizures without penetrating the brain. While long-term results are pending, Moisa has experienced no seizures since the August 31 procedure.
