Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of low‐intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) as a noninvasive neuromodulation technique in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). Methods In this pilot, single‐blind, randomized sham‐controlled crossover trial, 12 patients with DRE underwent both LIFU and

Perils and progress in epilepsy surgery utilization: Twenty‐five years later
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract More than 25 years have passed since the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) established that surgery is superior to continued anti‐seizure medication (ASM) for drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, and nearly as long since a joint practice parameter urged that appropriate surgical candidates be referred to a specialized center for ...

Role of vagus nerve stimulation in epilepsy [PDF]
Introduction and purpose: Epilepsy affects 1% globally, with 2.6 to 6 million cases in Europe. 30-40% of the 50 million epilepsy patients globally don't respond to drugs.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) activities are generally considered asymptomatic. Pulse wave amplitude drop (PWAD) is a marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity linked to cardiovascular risk. Generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) is a major EEG pattern in different epileptic conditions.

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.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Epilepsy surgery is an established and effective treatment for children with drug‐resistant epilepsy. Although the majority of patients become seizure‐free postoperatively, 20%–40% experience seizure recurrence. Although repeat surgery can achieve seizure freedom in selected cases, the reasons children with seizure recurrence do not ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...
