About
Dr. Jesse Skoch is a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon whose research focuses on advanced neuromodulation and surgical treatments for medically refractory epilepsy in children. His most impactful work, the 2022 study on responsive neurostimulation (RNS) device therapy in pediatric patients, has garnered 18 citations and represents a critical advancement in a field where 20-30% of children suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy. This study demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of closed-loop neurostimulation—a technology that detects and interrupts seizure activity in real time—for complex pediatric cases, expanding treatment options beyond traditional resective surgery. Dr. Skoch's contributions align with the American Academy of Neurology's advocacy for earlier surgical intervention, offering hope to families of children with intractable seizures. By translating adult neuromodulation techniques to pediatric populations, he has helped bridge a significant gap in epilepsy care, improving quality of life and cognitive outcomes for young patients. His work continues to shape the frontier of pediatric epilepsy surgery, making him a leading voice in the field.
