This is a prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blinded randomized study of self-administered auditory intervention in a naturalistic home environment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to to obtain a significant decrease in seizure frequency in patients with refractory focal epilepsy after applying treatment of cathodal tDCS, compared to sham stimulation drug-resistant epileptic patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: Changes in quality of life Percent of …
Social cognition, which refers to the ability to interpret social information and behave accordingly in a social environment, is crucial in everyday life. But this ability has been shown to be altered in patients with epilepsy, especially in medial temporal lobe epilepsy, which leads to a deterioration in the patient's …
Language is a signature human cognitive skill, but the precise computations that support language understanding remain unknown. This study aims to combine high-quality human neural data obtained through intracranial recordings with advances in computational modeling of human cognition to shed light on the construction and understanding of speech.
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a malformation of brain development, the most common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy and often caused by mutations in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway genes. Patients with FCD develop drug-resistant seizures. This study will look at FCD tissue removed during epilepsy surgery and aims to …
Electroceuticals is a new field in which the goal is to treat a wide variety of medical diseases with electrical stimulation of autonomic nerves. A prime target for intervention is the cervical vagus nerve as it is easily surgically accessible and supplies many organs in the neck, thorax and abdomen. …
Recent studies have shown that the aperiodic part of the signal (neuronal avalanches) of electroencephalography (EEG) contains important information about the dynamics of neuronal networks. Indeed, this has helped to identify functionally altered areas in patients with temporal epilepsy by simply using the resting EEG signal. Furthermore, it has been …
Interactions between the perceptual and motor systems are fundamental to the performance of complex motor tasks and are at the heart of the fine motor control required for the production of complex sounds such as speech production or playing a musical instrument. In such situations, the brain must learn to …
This project focuses on anti-seizure medication (ASM) clearance and physiological factors determining blood concentrations in pregnant adult women with epilepsy and amounts of exposure to their unborn children and nursing infants.
This study examines the environmental impact of two common treatments for hand fractures (metacarpal shaft fractures): surgery and non-surgical care. Healthcare contributes significantly to climate change, and orthopedic surgery in particular can generate substantial greenhouse gas emissions. Although surgery is frequently used for these fractures, it is not always clearly …
