The Influence of SISCOM on Intracranial Electrode Implantation in Epilepsy Surgical Candidates

Completed

Conditions studied: Epilepsy

In brief

The aim of this study is to determine the role of SISCOM (see below) in aiding clinicians to manage epilepsy surgery candidates. SISCOM is already a routine component of pre-surgical epilepsy evaluation at Mayo Clinic. In particular, we are interested in assessing whether use of SISCOM can minimize the need for prolonged (\>24 hours) invasive monitoring with electrodes placed on the surface of the brain prior to surgical resection. Note: this study has recruited the required number of patients and is closed to further enrolment.
