Predicting Seizure Responsiveness to Neuromodulation Using Connectomic Profiling (Vagus Nerve Stimulated (VNS) Study

Investigating Surgical Candidates for VNS in Epilepsy Treatment

Not Recruiting
17 years or below
All

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to compile information on these subjects to identify the ideal surgical candidate for VNS.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Epilepsy
  • Age: 17 years or below
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria

Undergoing VNS for treatment of medically intractable epilepsy
Those who have a previous unsuccessful resective epilepsy surgery, and a clinical decision has been made to undergo VNS as a subsequent treatment, will also be included
Those who have had multilobar disease, as these patients require multilobar surgical resection or hemispherectomy

This study investigates the selection of surgical candidates for Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in individuals with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and causes seizures. VNS is a treatment that involves using a device to send electrical impulses to the brain to reduce seizures.

Participants in this study will undergo procedures to gather information about their suitability for VNS. This may include assessments of their medical history and previous treatments to understand their condition better.

  • Who can participate: Adults with epilepsy who are undergoing VNS treatment, especially those with a history of unsuccessful epilepsy surgery or multilobar disease, are eligible.
  • Study details: Participants will provide information about their medical history and previous treatments. This information will help determine their suitability for VNS.
