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...
Objective
China has the largest population of patients with epilepsy worldwide, which imposes a heavy burden on the public and health care systems. Several epidemiological surveys on epilepsy have been performed in China. Although these surveys grossly describe the prevalence and gap in treatment of epilepsy, the status of epilepsy centers is unclear. The number of epilepsy centers has increased...
Objective
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin as adjunctive treatment for children (aged 1 month‐<4 years) with focal onset seizures (FOS) using video‐electroencephalography (V‐EEG).
Methods
This randomized, placebo‐controlled, international study included V‐EEG seizure monitoring (48‐72 hours) at baseline and over the last 3 days of 14‐day (5‐day dose escalation; 9‐day fixed dose)...
Objective
The epileptogenic network underlying secondarily generalized tonic–clonic seizures (sGTCS) in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is not well understood. Here, we investigated alterations in the probabilistic hippocampal‐thalamic pathway (pHTP) underlying sGTCS using diffusion tensor imaging and resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging in a cohort of TLE patients with hippocampal...
