econews. The treatment uses genetic engineering and a drug-activated molecular switch to suppress seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, according to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Breakthrough results: Three patients aged 28–37 experienced an average 92.6% reduction in seizures just two months after treatment.
The world's first human trial of this approach could open a new treatment pathway for millions of people with drug-resistant epilepsy, potentially controlling seizures without removing brain tissue.
