Monthly or menstrual? A scoping review of catamenial epilepsy and non‐menstrual seizure rhythms

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite the reported high prevalence of catamenial epilepsy (CE), the condition remains poorly defined, with lack of consensus on what entails a menstrual‐related seizure exacerbation. Emerging evidence of multiday cycles of seizure activity, including about‐monthly cycles, present in both men and women, further confound the ...

Programming of deep brain stimulation of the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus for drug‐resistant epilepsy: A meta‐analysis and proposed programming framework

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Although the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM) is an increasingly considered deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE), there is significant variability in programming practices, which may contribute to heterogenous outcomes.
