Epilepsy Brain Stimulation Clinic

At the University of Minnesota, we are leading the future of seizure control through advanced neuromodulation. Our Epilepsy Brain Stimulation Clinic offers cutting-edge therapies such as responsive neurostimulation (RNS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—each tailored to disrupt seizure activity and restore brain network balance.

What sets us apart is our commitment to personalized therapy. Our team integrates high-resolution MRI, high-density EEG, and proprietary algorithms to precisely identify seizure networks and deliver individualized stimulation. As pioneers in next-generation brain stimulation research, we are developing novel paradigms that adapt to each patient’s brain state and seizure patterns—offering new hope for those with drug-resistant epilepsy.
