Electrical Control of Epileptic Seizures

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2007
Epilepsy is among the most common neurologic disorders, yet it is estimated that about one third of patients do not respond favorably to currently available drug treatments and up to 50% experience major side effects of these treatments. Although surgical resection of seizure foci can provide reduction or cessation of seizure incidents, a significant ...

Seizure precipitants and perceived self-control of seizures in adults with poorly-controlled epilepsy

Epilepsy Research, 2000
This study was set up in order to investigate the prevalence and nature of seizure precipitants and self-control behaviours in adults with intractable seizures. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 100 patients attending neurology or neuropsychiatry epilepsy out-patient clinics.

Seizure control in brain tumors

2012
Abstract Epilepsy is common in brain tumors, 30–70% of all patients develop symptomatic epilepsy which considerably influences the daily life of this patient group. Low-grade tumors and a cortical location are the most important factors predicting the development of epilepsy in brain tumor.

Prognosis for seizure control in infantile spasms preceded by other seizures

Brain and Development, 1990
Thirteen to 43% of patients with infantile spasms (IS) have other types of seizures, which are considered a feature of an unfavourable prognosis and, to some extent, as a contra-indication for steroid treatment. The present series comprised 43 patients treated with steroids, who suffered from other types of seizures prior to IS.

Electroconvulsive therapy for seizure control: preliminary data in a new seizure generation and control model

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) effect upon seizure cessation was studied in five male Wistar rats using a penicillin intracisternal injection model (which did not damage the cranial vault). Animals were observed both clinically and electrographically for seizure development.

Epileptic seizure prediction and control

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2003
Epileptic seizures are manifestations of epilepsy, a serious brain dynamical disorder second only to strokes. Of the world's approximately 50 million people with epilepsy, fully 1/3 have seizures that are not controlled by anti-convulsant medication. The field of seizure prediction, in which engineering technologies are used to decode brain signals and

Cerebral commissurotomy for control of intractable seizures

Neurology, 1977
Cerebral commissurotomy or the "split-brain" procedure may be a valuable adjunct to anticonvulsants for the control of seizures in people whose epilepsy cannot be relieved by anticonvulsants alone, and who are not candidate for the standard methods of surgery.

Control of Epileptic Seizures

2002
During the last two decades, evidence has accumulated to demonstrate the existence, in the central nervous system, of an endogenous mechanism that exerts an inhibitory control over different forms of epileptic seizures. The substantia nigra and the superior colliculus have been described as key structures in this control circuit: inhibition of ...

Phenobarbital dosage for control of neonatal seizures

Neurology, 1979
The relationship of the initial phenobarbital dose to weight, gestational age, blood level, and seizure control was studied in 39 neonates. The blood proportional to the dosage per kilogram, and was not related to weight or gestational age. Seizures remitted only at blood phenobarbital concentrations above 16.9 micrograms per milliliter.
