A teenage boy in the UK has made medical history by becoming the first person in the world to receive a brain implant to help control his severe epilepsy. Oran Knowlson, who used to experience hundreds of seizures a day, had a neurostimulator implanted at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The neurostimulator, which is placed under the skull, works by sending electrical signals deep into the brain to reduce the frequency of seizures. Since having the implant fitted, Oran has seen a significant improvement, with his daytime seizures decreasing by 80%. This groundbreaking procedure offers hope to individuals with epilepsy who have not responded well to traditional treatments. The success of Oran's surgery paves the way for further advancements in the field of epilepsy treatment and management.
