Filter by:1. Analysis of the correlation between imaging and electrophysiological signals. 2. Real time analysis method for optimal implantation position. 3. Simultaneous Imaging and electrophysiology navigation. 4. Accuracy and security verification of navigation system. Expectation(Hypothesis): Develop an automated DBS surgical navigation system based on multimodal brain imaging data and neural electro-physiological signals, which can achieve real-time linkage navigation between imaging and electrophysiology, and automatically generate the optimal implantation position of DBS electrodes based on imaging and electrophysiological information through deep learning algorithms, thereby reducing DBS electrode implantation position errors and improving surgical efficacy.
This will be a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-center, pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) neuromodulation using NaviFUS System in patients with drug-resistant unilateral or bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (DR-TLE).
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a Leucine-Enriched Essential Amino Acid (LEAA) Powder as an add-on to a classic ketogenic diet (KD) in pediatric and adult patients with refractory epilepsy.
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term video EEG monitoring using 10-20 electrodes extended with intra-auricular electrodes in locating the seizure onset zone and interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and nontemporal lobe epilepsy (non-TLE).
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of objective neural response feedback on deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming for drug-resistant epilepsy in a prospective observational cohort study.
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 seen that the propagation of neuronal avalanches (VNs) correlates with the morphological organization of the cerebral cortex. Therefore, NAs represent a measure with direct utility for studying functional reorganization pre and post drug/surgical treatment. In addition, the aperiodic portion of the signal may represent a noninvasive measure of the excitation/inhibition relationship, which is known of being altered both in epilepsy and in some rare neurodevelopmental syndromes (example: Angelman and Dup15q)
The goal of the real-world study is to evaluate the long-term seizure control outcomes, postoperative complications, long term impact on cognitive, memory function outcomes, quality-of-life measures, and healthcare resource utilization of magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) on patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
This is an open label, single arm, interventional, prospective first in human study, designed to evaluate the safety of the NAO.VNS SYSTEM.
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 newly reported side effects after the stimulation period - Scores in epilepsy severity. Participants will be randomized in a cross-over, and will receive 10 days of tDCS or Sham. Each day will allow 2 periods of 20 minutes stimulation separated by 20 minutes off (with 40 minutes of cathodal stimulation total).
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a ketogenic diet in treating pediatric intractable epilepsy and to explore its relationship with changes in inflammatory markers. The investigators plan to recruit 59 participants with intractable epilepsy, 39 of whom will receive a combination of ketogenic diet and conventional antiepileptic drugs, while 20 will receive only conventional drugs. The study will assess the impact of the ketogenic diet on epilepsy control and inflammatory markers, hoping to discover new treatment strategies.
