Abstract
Neurostimulation for epilepsy is a rapidly expanding field. Since the introduction of vagus nerve stimulation more than 15 yr ago, there have been new developments in the area, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neuro-stimulation. Both of these modalities now have class-I evidence supporting their use. The pivotal trials for DBS and responsive neurostimulation will be summarized. Little is known about the application of these new modalities in pediatric population. Case reports and case series of DBS including pediatric population are summarized.
