Not a traditional drug phase: Deep brain stimulation for Motor Epilepsy
This self-crossover, randomly assigned controlled, pilot study aims to collect clinical data of bilateral stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) combined with centromedian (CM) thalamus deep brain stimulation (DBS) for drug resistant epilepsy with motor symptom in adults.
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Deep brain stimulation. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This self-crossover, randomly assigned controlled, pilot study aims to collect clinical data of bilateral stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) combined with centromedian (CM) thalamus deep brain stimulation (DBS) for drug resistant epilepsy with motor symptom in adults.
They plan to enroll about 10 people at Beijing. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.

Objective: This protocol is designed to allow the Surgical Neurology Branch to evaluate and treat the neurosurgical disorders of protocol participants. The participants will receive standard-of-clinical-care evaluation and treatment.
Background: \- Drug resistant epilepsy is the term used to describe epilepsy that cannot be controlled by medication. Many people whose seizures do not respond to medication will respond to surgical treatment, relieving seizures completely or almost completely in one-half to two-thirds of patients who qualify for surgery.
The Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford (CoRDS) is an international patient registry that serves as a centralized resource for rare disease research. Individuals affected by rare diseases, undiagnosed conditions, and disorders of unknown prevalence may voluntarily contribute health information to support natural history studies, participant recruitment, and other research efforts.
