Study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Treat Epilepsy
The purpose of this research is to see to what extent electrical stimulation applied to the scalp (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) can reduce the number and intensity of epileptic seizures.
A Comparative Study Between Laryseal Pro Extraglottic Device and Ambu Aura Gain Laryngeal Mask as a Conduit for Fiberoptic Tracheal Intubation in Pediatric Population
This study aims to compare between Laryseal Pro and Ambu Aura Gain extraglottic devices as conduits for fiberoptic endotracheal intubation regarding time of endotracheal intubation in pediatric population.
Ketogenic Therapy Effects on Electrical and Metabolic Abnormalities in Epilepsy
Approximately a fourth of children with seizures do not respond adequately to available therapy. Ketogenic therapy has a long history as treatment for intractable epilepsy, but there is no agreement concerning how it works and what is the best way to administer it. This natural history study will collect data …
Subthalamic Nucleus Electrical Stimulation for Drug-resistant Focal Motor Epilepsy
The primary objective of this research is to study the efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of subthalamic nucleus (STN) as adjunctive therapy for reducing the frequency of seizures in drug-resistant focal motor epilepsy.
Butylphthalide for Cognitive Impairment in Elderly Patients With Focal Epilepsy
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of butylphthalide soft capsules for treating cognitive impairment in elderly patients with focal epilepsy. Study Population: 220 elderly patients (60-85 years) with focal epilepsy and mild to moderate cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment score 18-25). Intervention: Participants …
Enhanced MRI Imaging in Healthy Participants and Participants With Epilepsy
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common type of epilepsy and one of the most likely to not be controlled by medication. For patients who do not respond to medication, surgery can result in a cure of seizures. Given the fact that around 50% of patients who undergo surgery are …
Psychological and Psychiatric Assessment in Patients Eligible for Epilepsy Surgery
The aim of the study is to describe the socio-demographic, clinical, psychological, and psychiatric characteristics of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy eligible for epilepsy surgery and any changes in these parameters over time after surgery. Additionally, the study seeks to describe the levels of quality of life, dissociative experiences, prevalence …
Pre-operative Mapping of the Anterior Temporal Lobe Using Functional MRI Innovative Techniques in in Drug-resistant Epileptic Patients
Anterior temporal epilepsy is the most frequent form of focal epilepsy (more than 50% of focal epilepsies). The epilepsy is drug-resistant when epileptic seizures persist despite antiepileptic treatment (25% of cases). In this case, it is possible to offer a surgical solution to the patient: an anterior temporal lobectomy. This …
Diffusion MRI Methods to Minimize Postoperative Deficits in Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery
This project will test the accuracy of a novel diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI) approach using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to predict an optimal resection margin for pediatric epilepsy surgery objectively. Its primary goal is to minimize surgical risk probability (i.e., functional deficit) and maximize surgical benefit probability …
Sleep Related Memory Consolidation in Children With Age Related Focal Epilepsy.
Age related focal epilepsies in children encompasses, according to the ILAE criteria, benign epilepsy with centro temporal spikes (BECTS), atypical benign partial epilepsy (ABPE) and epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike and waves during sleep (ECSWS). These non structural epilepsies are associated with interictal sleep spike and waves activated by sleep. …
