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 …
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 …
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.
Patients will be asked to visit the study center 2 times, the first time for clinical assessment and a second time for sample collection. Healthy controls will only be asked to visit the study center for sample collection. A sample of blood and saliva will be collected in order to …
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 …
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.
To observe the clinical effect and safety of transcranial electrical stimulation on patients with refractory epilepsy before and after treatment and analyze its therapeutic mechanism.
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 …
Patients with epilepsy, especially drug-resistant epilepsy, have a lot of cognitive \& psycho-social issues. There is little evidence pertaining to the efficacy of the various cognitive-behavioral interventions and cognitive retraining modules used in epilepsy patients in the Indian context. The real value of these interventions needs further consolidation in terms …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using seizure forecasts based on subscalp EEG.
