About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the custom made Stealth Arc Delivery device versus a commercially available device to improve the precision, efficiency and workflow of implanting Stereo electroencephalography (sEEG) electrodes into patients who have medically unmanageable epilepsy. Successful sEEG monitoring can identify areas of the brain where epileptic seizures originate for later surgical removal.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.
