New MRI technique could pinpoint seizure source without brain surgery
NCT ID NCT02304029
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a new type of MRI that measures sodium levels in the brain can help locate the exact area causing seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers compared the sodium MRI results to the standard method, which sometimes requires invasive brain recordings. The goal was to see if this non-invasive scan could guide surgeons to remove the right spot and stop seizures, potentially reducing the need for risky procedures.
