Low-frequency electric cortical stimulation decreases interictal and ictal activity in human epilepsy
We previously reported that low-frequency electric cortical stimulation (LFECS) directly applied to the epileptic focus by means of subdural electrodes decreased the number of interictal epileptiform discharges in patients with intractable partial epilepsy. In the present study, LFECS was applied to the epileptic foci directly in four patients with medically intractable partial epilepsy through...
متن کاملLow-frequency Stimulation Decreases Hyperexcitability through Adenosine A1 Receptors in the Hippocampus of Kindled Rats
Introduction: In this study, the role of A1 adenosine receptors in improving the effect of Low-Frequency Electrical Stimulation (LFS) on seizure-induced hyperexcitability of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons was investigated. Methods: A semi-rapid hippocampal kindling model was used to induce seizures in male Wistar rats. Examination of the electrophysiological properties of CA1 pyramidal neur...
متن کاملInhibition of connexin 36 decreases seizure activity in the Kainic acid-induced rat model of epilepsy
Aim: To investigate the effect of connexin 36-associated (Cx36) channel blockers on the process of epilepsy and its mechanisms. Methods: We examined the anticonvulsant properties of carbenoxolone, quinine, and quinidine in the Kainic Acid-induced (KA-induced) model of epilepsy in rats, and we investigated the effects of these blockers on epileptic discharge and the expression of Cx36. Results: ...
متن کاملLow-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for seizure suppression in patients with extratemporal lobe epilepsy—A pilot study
We evaluated the effect of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on seizure frequency in adult patients with medically intractable extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE). Seven patients with medically intractable ETLE received low-frequency rTMS at 0.9 Hz, basically two sets of 15 min stimulation per day for five days in a week, with the stimulus intensity of 90% of rest...
متن کاملCorrelation between Epilepsy Self-Management Behaviors and Seizure Frequency among Patients with Epilepsy in Iran Epilepsy Association
Background and Objectives: Epilepsy is a chronic condition results in seizure and leads to debilitating conditions in patients. Epilepsy self-management behaviors include activities to manage the disease. The aim of this study was to assess self-management behaviors and its correlation with seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy. Materials and Methods: In this correlation study, 120 patien...
