Prospective observational study of VNS in drug-resistant epilepsy patients with or without prior intracranial surgery
Failed Brain Surgery? This Device Might Still Stop Seizures
This prospective, multicenter, international observational study abstract evaluates vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in 531 patients with drug-…
Patients who had brain surgery but still have seizures can still benefit from nerve stimulation therapy.
In 25 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, 7-Hz EBS showed higher afterdischarge occurrence than 1-Hz protocols.
A New Brain-Stimulation Frequency May Make Epilepsy Surgery More Precise
This observational analysis of existing SEEG stimulation data included 25 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Theta-range EBS at 7 Hz was…
Stimulating the brain at a slower, more natural rhythm uncovered seizure-related responses that the two standard frequencies sometimes miss.
