Key Points

This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of DBS and RNS device stimulation for treating refractory epilepsy.
Retrospective analysis of seizure outcomes from DBS and RNS device stimulation
Assessment of seizure freedom rates and adverse events
Comparison of data from patients receiving both interventions
DBS showed a higher seizure freedom rate in patients compared to the RNS device
Adverse events were noted in both groups, with DBS having a different profile
Statistical significance of differences was evaluated but results are qualitative without exact metrics
