Hi Sharron,
Welcome to the forum! If I'm not mistaken you're talking about the Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) They have been out for a few yrs. and I looked into getting one. The DBS is not only used for epilepsy but it's used for MS, back pain, and Parkinson disease. The DBS is a device similar to a pace maker that is put into the right side of the upper chest attached to it are 2 wires and those wires are placed in the areas of the brain triggering seizures they then take the device and program it so it will send stimulating singles to the brain every 5 minutes or faster by doing this it stops the seizures and reduces the pain. The only bad thing about the DBS is that you have to have surgery done every 4-6 yrs. to change the batteries. I have a cousin who has a DBS for severe back pain but he played it smart and had the device put on the outside of his body so when it comes time to change the batteries it's no problem and he doesn't have to have surgery done. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
