Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
An Israeli patient, Olga Moisa, is the first outside Europe to receive the non-invasive EASEE brain stimulation system for epilepsy at Clalit-Beilinson Hospital. Developed in Germany, the system treats epilepsy without skull surgery or brain electrodes. Moisa, who had epilepsy for 15 years and was unresponsive to medication, has had no seizures since the August 31 treatment, though long-term effectiveness is still being assessed.
