🧠 EASEE® - first minimally invasive brain pacemaker for drug-resistant focal epilepsy

24/06/2026

❓You have questions, we have the answers!❗

Today we’re tackling a topic that’s on many of your minds: tattoos and piercings – are they compatible with the EASEE® system?

✅ In short: yes, but with caution. With tattoos, it’s important to take the healing process of the implanted area into account. With piercings, the implant sites should be avoided.

💡What is EASEE® anyway? EASEE® is the world’s first minimally invasive brain pacemaker and offers new hope for people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy when medication is no longer sufficient or causes too much strain. The EASEE® system consists of several components, two of which – the EASEE® Lead electrode on the skull bone above the epileptic focus and the EASEE® Power pulse generator in the chest – are implanted.

Making decisions isn’t always easy. 🤯

For Chris, however, one step was easy – the step towards EASEE®. He was one of hundreds of people to take that step, and he did so quite quickly: his doctor told him about our treatment option. During that very same consultation, he said yes to EASEE®. 🤝🏻

This demonstrates not only the great trust he has in his doctor – a crucial factor in any doctor-patient relationship – but also his trust in our treatment. ✨

What did Chris want? Hope. Fewer restrictions. More freedom. And today? He lives with his friend in a shared flat in Freiburg, is planning a holiday and can enjoy his life again. 💜

If you’d like to know whether EASEE® might be an option for you, speak to your medical team. 👩🏾‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️

Epilepsy doesn’t just affect the body.‼️

It can also influence how you see yourself – your self-image, your self-esteem, your inner dialogue.

In our EASEE® Mind series, we talk about exactly that: mental health, invisible barriers and the impact of epilepsy on the mind and soul. We share food for thought, little routines and practical tips that can help you live your daily life with epilepsy more mindfully. 🫶

Today: Epilepsy and self-image.

Epilepsy is a diagnosis. But it is not your identity. It describes a part of your life – not your worth, not your personality, not everything that makes you who you are.

You are more than medical terms. More than entries in a file. More than the things that are sometimes difficult. You are human. Strong. Unsure. Brave. And sometimes all of these things at once. 💜

It’s okay to have days when epilepsy takes centre stage. And it’s just as okay not to define yourself by it. You are more than your diagnosis. And your journey is yours alone.

How does epilepsy affect your self-image? Share your thoughts with us in the comments or via DM! 💭

Sleep and epilepsy are closely linked – but why is rest actually so important? 💤

For many people with epilepsy, lack of sleep is one of the most common triggers for seizures. Even a single sleepless night or significantly irregular bedtimes can throw the brain out of balance – and increase the likelihood of a seizure. ⚡️

Regular sleep is therefore a key part of seizure prevention. Your brain loves routine: fixed bedtimes, even at the weekend, are well worth it. Also try to create a quiet, dark environment in your bedroom and avoid consuming caffeine, ni****ne or alcohol just before going to bed. ✔️

If, despite your best efforts, you sleep poorly, wake up frequently during the night or even experience breathing pauses, be sure to speak to your neurologist. Sleep disturbances can make it harder to control seizures, but there are solutions. And most importantly: you are not alone. Many people with epilepsy face similar challenges. 💜

Very important: Never stop taking your medication or change the dosage on your own to ‘sleep better’. Such adjustments should always be made under medical supervision. ‼️

If you have epilepsy and are having trouble sleeping, be sure to speak to your doctor. 💭

Imperceptible, yet powerfully effective: Did you know that EASEE® operates entirely hidden under the skin – without touching the brain?

✅ The EASEE® Lead electrode is placed under the skin on your head, directly above the area where your seizures start. You don’t have to worry about your whole head being shaved: only the small area where the incision for the electrode implantation is made will be shaved.

🔋 The EASEE® Power unit is placed under the skin on your chest, supplying power to the implant. In most cases, the components are not visible, so you can feel confident that your appearance reflects who you are – not your treatment.

💜 The strength of the stimulation is adjusted individually, so you won’t feel the stimulation. But you may feel something else: freedom.

🕰 Take your time – well-informed decisions aren’t made under pressure.
🗣 Ask all the questions that matter to you. Even those that might seem trivial. It’s about your health.

Epileptic seizures are often very frightening for both the person having the seizure and bystanders. 😨

However, they usually stop on their own after 1 to 2 minutes. Even though the moment of a seizure can be overwhelming and frightening, in most cases epileptic seizures are not a medical emergency.

You should always call the emergency services if…📞

⚠️it is the person’s first seizure – as there may be unknown causes behind it
⏰the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes
🔄several seizures happen back-to-back and the person does not regain consciousness
🌊the seizure happens in water (e.g. in the bath, a swimming pool, a lake or the sea)
🩸the person is seriously injured (e.g. head injuries or heavy bleeding)
🫁the person is struggling to breathe or turning blue
🤰you know the person is pregnant or has diabetes – as both conditions can lead to complications

🆘But even if you’re unsure, you can always call for an ambulance. What you can do in the meantime:

✅ Protect their head from hard edges
✅ Under no circumstances should you put anything in their mouth
✅ Is the person unconscious? If so, move their body into the recovery position
✅ Remove any dangerous objects in the immediate vicinity

❗Disclaimer: This information is not a substitute for medical advice – but it will help you assess emergencies more effectively.
