Deep brain stimulation for refractory epilepsy
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a method of treatment utilized to control medically refractory epilepsy (RE). Patients with medically refractory epilepsy who do not achieve satisfactory control of seizures with pharmacological treatment or surgical resection of the epileptic focus and those who do not qualify for surgery could benefit from DBS. The most frequently used stereotactic targets for ...
متن کاملVagus Nerve Stimulation in Refractory Epilepsy: State of the Art
Even if the notion of refractory epilepsy is difficult to define precisely, it is widely admitted that it corresponds to the failure of two or more drugs and occurrence of one or more seizures per month over 18 months. Approximately 30 to 35% of epileptic patients will experience refractory epileptic periods in their lifetime despite maximal antiepileptic medications or they will suffer from se...
متن کاملDeep brain stimulation in patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy.
PURPOSE This pilot study prospectively evaluated the efficacy of long-term deep brain stimulation (DBS) in medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures in patients with MTL epilepsy. METHODS Twelve consecutive patients with refractory MTL epilepsy were included in this study. The protocol included invasive video-EEG monitoring for ictal-onset localization and evaluation for subsequent stimulation of...
متن کاملState of the art: deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease.
Surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease has a long history beginning in the 1930s with empirical exploration of different brain targets, such as resection of the primary motor cortex or extirpation of the caudate. Recently, there has been a renaissance of functional neurosurgery for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease, particularly deep brain stimulation (DBS). To date, DBS of the gl...
متن کاملDeep brain and cortical stimulation for epilepsy.
BACKGROUND Despite optimal medical treatment, including epilepsy surgery, many epilepsy patients have uncontrolled seizures. In the last decades, interest has grown in invasive intracranial neurostimulation as a treatment for these patients. Intracranial stimulation includes both deep brain stimulation (DBS) (stimulation through depth electrodes) and cortical stimulation (subdural electrodes). ...
