Aura interruption: the Andrews/Reiter behavioral intervention may reduce seizures and improve quality of life - a pilot trial.

Epilepsy & behavior : E&B·2011

EEG biofeedback effectively controls complex-partial seizures in 83% of patients. While onset age and seizure frequency predict treatment duration, this behavioral approach offers hope for many with uncontrolled epilepsy.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Complex-partial seizures are a challenging neurological condition.
  • Existing treatments may not be effective for all patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of EEG biofeedback for controlling complex-partial seizures.
  • To identify factors predicting treatment success and duration.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 83 patients with uncontrolled seizures.
  • EEG biofeedback program utilized for treatment.
  • Discriminant analysis to assess predictor variables.

Main Results:

  • 83% of patients achieved seizure control with EEG biofeedback.
  • Higher seizure frequency at baseline predicted poorer seizure control.

  • Earlier onset age and higher seizure frequency correlated with more treatment sessions.

    • Conclusions:

    • EEG biofeedback is a successful behavioral intervention for complex-partial seizures.
    • Seizure frequency and onset age are indicators of treatment difficulty, not treatment failure.
    • This approach is beneficial for a wide range of patients with uncontrolled epilepsy.
