　　Epilepsy is usually treated with medication, but adequate seizure control is still not achieved in over 30% of epilepsy patients, even with the best available agents.Surgical treatment is also performed for such patients, but is not always successful.Focal cooling of the brain using a thermoelectric device has recently been evaluated as an alternative to epilepsy surgery.Brain cooling was first proposed approximately 50 years ago as an effective method for suppressing epileptic discharges (EDs).
