Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to demonstrate that a higher proportion of responders to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the anterior nucleus (AN) of the thalamus in refractory epilepsy patients in the SANTE study exhibit a recruitment rhythm relative to non-responders.
