After experiencing seizures every other week, Christine Kauzen has been seizure-free for months since receiving one of the first rare treatments of its kind in Canada — a neurostimulation device surgically implanted into her skull.

The 26-year-old, who lives in London, Ont., was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2020 after a series of what were initially believed to be panic attacks, which progressively became more severe. Kauzen had seizures that could last up to three days at a time.

The ‘Responsive Neurostimulation’ (NR) device is approved for use in the U.S., but not yet in Canada. Global News health reporter Katherine Ward brings us the story.
