概括
在其他治疗方法失败时,thalamus前核深脑刺激 (ANT DBS) 对泛性 (GE) 是有前途的. 一个案例研究和文献综述表明,ANT DBS可以减少或消除GE患者的泛性强力克隆性发作.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 神经外科 神经外科
- 发病学 (Epileptology) 是一个专业的学科.
背景情况:
- 胸部前核 (ANT) 深度大脑刺激 (DBS) 是FDA批准用于焦点.
- 在最初的试验中没有评估泛性 (GE),但在受试者中减少了双边强力-克隆性的焦点.
- 在罕见的情况下,ANT DBS已被用于GE患者.
研究的目的:
- 报告一个成功的ANT DBS病例,一个患有异常性GE的患者.
- 系统地审查关于在GE患者中使用ANT DBS的文献.
- 评估ANT DBS在GE中的有效性和情况.
主要方法:
- 一个27岁的男性病例报告,患有异常性GE耐药性和VNS.
- 对用ANT DBS治疗的GE患者进行PubMed,Cochrane和Google Scholar的系统文献审查.
- 总结了13篇涉及23名GE患者的出版物中的临床发现,特征和结果.
主要成果:
- 患者在ANT DBS后的五年内没有发生泛性强度-克隆性 (GTCS),其他也减少了.
- 系统性审查确定了23名GE患者接受了ANT DBS治疗,通常是在VNS失败后.
- 在报告结果的13名患者中,有3名患者变得没有GTCS,这表明ANT DBS的有效性.
结论:
- 在ANT节点的高频刺激可以调节GE网络.
- 在既有疗法失败时,ANT DBS是GE的潜在治疗选择.
- 需要进一步的结构化研究来验证ANT DBS对一般性的有效性.

Glutamate is a fundamental neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, playing a vital role in neuronal communication and various cognitive processes. Glutamate stands as the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its presence is crucial for the communication between neurons, underpinning essential processes such as synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability, and plasticity. These functions are vital for higher-order cognitive processes, including learning and memory. The...

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
