Thalamus Seizure Detection With a Deep Brain Stimulator System
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Epilepsy; Seizure
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of chronic ambulatory thalamus seizure detection. The sensitivity, specificity, and false alarm rate of thalamus seizure detection will be calculated using recordings from a deep brain stimulation system, assessed relative to concurrent gold-standard video-EEG monitoring collected in the in-patient setting (epilepsy monitoring unit), in 5 patients with drug resistant epilepsy.
