Brain zaps keep patients awake during seizures
NCT ID NCT04897776
Summary
This Yale University study tested a new approach for people with severe temporal lobe epilepsy whose seizures can't be fully stopped by medications or surgery. Instead of trying to prevent seizures, researchers used a special brain stimulator to try to restore a patient's consciousness and awareness during a seizure event. The goal was to improve safety and quality of life by helping patients stay alert and responsive even when a seizure occurs.
