Kathleen's Story- Spanish

Описание: Me llamo Kathleen Rivas y vivo en Lakewood, California.

Algunas veces en la cultura mexicana o latina se siente como que la epilepsia es algo que se debe de esconder, como que es una vergüenza, pero yo creo que eso es nomás la falta de educación, de la condición, así que haciendo pues algo como esto yo creo que les va a ayudar a las familias y a los que sufren de epilepsia, para saber que hay esperanza para ellos.

My name is Kathleen Rivas and I live in Lakewood, California.

Sometimes in Mexican or Latin culture it feels like epilepsy is something that you should hide, like it’s something to be embarrassed about, but I think that just comes from a lack of education on the condition, so I think doing something like this is going to help those who suffer from epilepsy and their families to know that there is hope for them.

About NeuroPace RNS System
The RNS System is the world’s first and only closed-loop brain-responsive neurostimulation system designed to prevent epileptic seizures at their source. The RNS System is composed of a neurostimulator, leads that are placed at the seizure foci, a remote monitor used by patients to upload their data, and a RNS Tablet and Patient Data Management System (PDMS) used by physicians. Physicians can view their patient’s electrographic data on a secure website and program the device to personalize therapy for each individual. Unlike anti-epileptic drugs or resective surgery, brain-responsive neuromodulation outcomes typically improve with time and do not cause the cognitive side effects that can be associated with those alternatives. The RNS System is now available at nearly all comprehensive epilepsy centers in the United States and is widely covered by private and government insurance.



The RNS® System is an adjunctive therapy for adults with refractory, focal onset seizures with no more than 2 epileptogenic foci.
