A closed-loop RNS system only delivers stimulation when it detects the beginnings of seizure activity. In that way, it functions much like a pacemaker does to stop abnormal heart rhythms. Such stimulation works to either reduce the risk of having a seizure altogether or stops seizures from sprea...

Although people at risk can often be identified, interventions to prevent the development of the disorder are not available. Moreover, in at least 30% of patients, epilepsy cannot be controlled by current antiseizure medications (ASMs). As a result of considerable progress in epilepsy genetics ...
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL), activity of daily living (ADL) and depressive mood disorder in temporal lobe epilepsy patients We determined the interrelations of chronological age, age at seizure onset, duration of seizure disorder, cognitive functioning (IQ), scales of activities... J ...
Considering seizure types, patients presented generalized seizures (n=4), typical temporal seizures (n=4), myoclonus (n=1) and extratemporal seizures (n=1). EEG recordings were not useful in our population. Epileptic patients presented a more severe cognitive decline than patients without seizures...
Presence of active seizure in the prior 9 months did not influence the likelihood of pregnancy. Women receiving an EIAED were less likely to achieve pregnancy compared with women taking other AEDs (hazard ratio, 0.456; 95% CI, 0.193-1.081). Sensitivity Analyses Results of sensitivity analyses ...
