Seizure relief for participant in clinical trial

Caption

Annette Adkins, walking in her Portland neighborhood, has been nearly seizure-free since undergoing an experimental procedure at OHSU on Oct. 26 implanting inhibitory nerve cells into a precisely defined focal point in the brain to quell seizures. Known as NRTX-1001 neuronal cell therapy, the technique has been tried in two patients nationwide so far as part of an ongoing multisite clinical trial.
