A Study to Evaluate a New Device for Increasing Accuracy and Efficiency of Image-Guided Stereo EEG Procedures

Overview

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.
