Approximately 1 in 100 people have an underlying tendency to have recurrent seizures (epilepsy). Drug therapy will only control seizures for 60% of people with epilepsy; the remaining 40% will continue to have seizures no matter what drugs are used. This is called medically intractable or medically refractory epilepsy, and there are at least 800,000 patients in the United States with this condition.
