Intracerebral Electrical Stimulation and the Optimisation of Presurgical Planning in Drug-refractory Partial Epilepsy
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Patients with drug-refractory epilepsy sometimes need to be implanted with intracerebral electrodes in order to identify their seizure onset zone. During this procedure, direct electrical brain stimulations represent a standard clinical practice to assess seizure sensitivity and for functional mapping. This study aims at assessing if extending the range of stimulation frequencies of the usual clinical frequencies is of benefit for the definition of the seizure onset zone and hence for the presurgical planning.
Official title: A Study of the Effect of Intracerebral Electrical Stimulation on the Optimisation of Presurgical Planning in Drug-refractory Partial Epilepsy (StiMiC)
