Experimental gene therapy reduced the number of epileptic seizures by more than 90% Three patients with severe intractable epilepsy had their seizures reduced by more than 90% after gene therapy. The method involves introducing viral particles with genetic material directly into the brain, which change the activity of nerve cells. The first results of clinical studies indicate the possibility of significantly reducing the frequency of seizures in epilepsy, which cannot yet be controlled with existing drugs.
