The use of devices in the treatment of epilepsy is an emerging therapy for those patients whose seizures are not controlled by medications. This article will discuss current treatment options with devices for vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation and responsive neurostimulation. Emerging therapies in noninvasive neurostimulation such as with trigeminal nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation may prove to be promising solutions. Finally, new and enhanced techniques of drug delivery are discussed as well as other devices with potential use in the study and treatment of epilepsy.
