Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Epilepsy- A New Approach to Neuromodulation. [PDF]
Epilepsy Curr, 2022 Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) who are not surgical candidates have unacceptably few treatment options. Benefits of implanted electrostimulatory devices are still largely palliative, and many patients are not eligible to receive them. A new form of neuromodulation, low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS), is rapidly emerging, and has many
