New brain scan combo aims to sharpen target for epilepsy surgery

NCT ID NCT03278210

Summary

This study tested whether a combined brain scan method (EEG-fMRI) could help doctors more accurately locate the source of seizures in people with hard-to-treat focal epilepsy. It involved 102 patients who were already being evaluated for possible surgery. The goal was to see if this extra scan improved surgical planning and led to better outcomes after the operation.
