This study is exploring whether acupuncture can help people with epilepsy who have a Responsive Neurostimulation System (RNS) implanted. Researchers want to see if 12 weeks of acupuncture treatment can reduce the number and severity of your seizures, improve your mood and thinking, and affect the electrical activity in your brain as recorded by the RNS system. You may be able to join if you are between 15 and 60 years old, have an RNS system, and can keep your current medications and RNS settings stable for 12 weeks. The study is looking for 10 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
