New clinical trial for children with treatment-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy
Patients with severe epilepsy can have seizures every day – sometimes waking up on the floor, not knowing what happened. For about 1 in 3 epilepsy patients, drugs are of no help. 
Alex Rotenberg, MD, PhD, a neurologist in Children’s Hospital Boston’s Epilepsy Program, has been having success with an experimental technique for this kind of disabling, treatment-resistant epilepsy.
Known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), it has helped a small number of patients with no other good options for controlling their seizures.
