Closed-loop RNS System reduces seizures by over 75% in 9-year open-label extension

Epilepsia4/12/2026ยท04/12/26๐ŸŒ USA

Summary

NeuroPace published 9-year open-label extension data from their RNS System pivotal trial showing median seizure reduction of 75% at 9 years in 256 drug-resistant epilepsy patients, with 35% of patients achieving 90%+ seizure reduction. Serious adverse events were rare and largely device-related rather than stimulation-related.

Why it matters

Nine-year durability data for closed-loop responsive neurostimulation is remarkable for a refractory epilepsy population. The progressive improvement in seizure control over time suggests ongoing neuroplasticity, not just acute suppression.
