Morristown, NJ – The New Jersey Pediatric Neuroscience Institute (NJPNI) is proud to announce the expansion of its pediatric epilepsy treatment program, offering new, innovative, and advanced solutions for children suffering from epilepsy and related neurological disorders. This development marks a significant milestone in pediatric care, positioning NJPNI at the forefront of neurological treatment in New Jersey, delivering unparalleled, cutting-edge care to children and their families.

NJPNI has always been a leader in pediatric neurology, providing comprehensive care to children with a range of neurological conditions. The latest expansion of epilepsy treatment options enhances its already strong suite of services, allowing for more precise diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies. With the integration of groundbreaking technologies and methodologies, NJPNI aims to improve the quality of life for children struggling with epilepsy, focusing on reducing the frequency and severity of seizures while minimizing side effects.

Cutting-Edge Technologies at NJPNI

The expansion of NJPNI’s epilepsy treatment program is built on the adoption of state-of-the-art technologies and techniques designed specifically for pediatric patients. Among the advanced tools now available at the institute are:

Advanced Neuroimaging Technologies:
NJPNI utilizes high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) to pinpoint the exact location of abnormal brain activity. This allows for more precise and accurate diagnoses, improving treatment outcomes and ensuring that therapies are targeted to the specific needs of each patient.

Electroencephalography (EEG) with Video Monitoring:
Long-term video EEG monitoring is now a cornerstone of the diagnostic process at NJPNI. By capturing brain wave activity over extended periods, specialists can observe seizure activity in real-time, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of a child’s epilepsy and enabling more tailored treatments.

Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS):
NJPNI is now offering this revolutionary treatment option, where a small device is implanted to monitor brain activity and deliver electrical stimulation to prevent seizures before they start. RNS has shown significant success in reducing seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Laser Ablation Surgery:
For children whose epilepsy is not well-controlled by medication, NJPNI is offering minimally invasive laser ablation surgery. This advanced procedure targets and destroys the small areas of brain tissue that cause seizures without the need for open surgery, significantly reducing recovery time and improving outcomes.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS):
NJPNI continues to be a leader in offering VNS, a treatment option where a device is implanted to send regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brain via the vagus nerve, helping to control seizures.

These cutting-edge technologies offer hope to children who have struggled with traditional epilepsy treatments. By staying at the forefront of medical innovation, NJPNI is committed to enhancing the lives of children and their families.

Personalized Care and Multidisciplinary Approach

At the New Jersey Pediatric Neuroscience Institute, the focus is always on the child. The expansion of epilepsy treatment options is accompanied by NJPNI’s ongoing commitment to personalized, compassionate care. Every child’s condition is unique, and the expert team at NJPNI develops individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs.

The multidisciplinary team at NJPNI includes pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists, all working together to ensure comprehensive care. The institute believes that successful epilepsy management requires not only cutting-edge technology but also a deep understanding of each child’s overall well-being, including cognitive and emotional health. With this approach, NJPNI continues to be a leader in pediatric neuroscience, providing support that goes beyond medical treatment to ensure a better quality of life for its patients.
