Magnetic pulses target hidden cause of Kids' learning struggles in common epilepsy

NCT ID NCT04325282

Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique could help children with a common childhood epilepsy. The children often have more trouble with language and learning than with seizures, which may be linked to frequent abnormal brain activity. Researchers used magnetic pulses aimed at the brain area where this activity starts, to see if it could reduce the abnormal signals and improve how different brain regions communicate.
