About
Romain Carron is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher specializing in neuromodulation and stereotactic neurosurgery for epilepsy and movement disorders. His work centers on advancing deep brain stimulation (DBS) techniques, particularly for drug-resistant epilepsy, where he has pioneered targeting of the medial pulvinar nucleus (PuM). Carron’s major contribution is the PULSE study, the first prospective trial demonstrating that PuM-DBS significantly reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with focal epilepsy resistant to both medication and vagal nerve stimulation. The interim 12-month results, published in 2024, have already garnered 18 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. Additionally, Carron has advanced surgical precision through MRI-based and robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy with intraoperative CT imaging, a technique that enhances diagnostic accuracy while minimizing risks. His work bridges cutting-edge neuroimaging and minimally invasive interventions, offering new hope for patients with otherwise intractable conditions. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating innovative surgical strategies into clinical practice, Carron is shaping the future of epilepsy surgery and neuromodulation.
