Objective
Sleep strongly activates interictal epileptic activity through an unclear mechanism. We investigated how scalp sleep slow waves (SSWs), whose positive and negative half‐waves reflect the fluctuation of neuronal excitability between the up and down states, respectively, modulate interictal epileptic events in focal epilepsy.
Methods
Simultaneous polysomnography was performed in 45 patients...
Sleep disorder is common in epilepsy. With a recent rapid development in sleep medicine, it has been increasingly recognized that anti‐seizure therapies, either anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) or non‐pharmaceutical approaches, can take direct or indirect influence on sleep in patients with epilepsy. Here, we systematically review the effect of anti‐seizure treatments on sleep. ASMs targeting at different...
The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence of peri-ictal prone position in patients with generalized convulsive seizures (GCS) and to further assess the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) associated with the prone position.We retrospectively reviewed the video-EEG data of 308 GCS in 193 patients who underwent long-term video-EEG monitoring in two epilepsy centers...
