ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic researchers have introduced a personalized method for deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy. By mapping each patient's brain wave patterns, this approach allows doctors to precisely target the brain area where stimulation is most effective. Traditional DBS typically involves placing electrodes in the same brain region for most patients. However, Mayo Clinic's new method tailors treatment to each person’s seizure network before DBS placement. "Our unique approach aims to tailor neuromodulation for each patient," Nick Gregg, M.D., a Mayo Clinic neurologist, said. "We're moving away from one-size-fits-all to an individualized approach that maximizes seizure network engagement." Researchers
