No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators are investigating the effectiveness of a wearable multisite transcranial magnetic stimulation (mTMS) device that can deliver stimuli at multiple cortical sites simultaneously or sequentially for the treatment of an epileptic syndrome - focal continuous-spike and wave during sleep.

Conditions

  • CSWS

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Each patient will receive a 10 minute treatment of one time stimulation of the Epileptogenic Cortical Area (ECA). The TRPMS cap will be worn over the previously fixed scalp EEG electrodes. The procedure during this treatment session will consist of positioning a device microstimulator component centered on an area of focal epileptiform discharges (identified with EEG electrode placement) with the patient relaxing in a chair. The stimulus parameters used will be 120 stimulus trains of 100 ms in duration, each train delivered every 5 s for total session duration of 10 min. . The investigators will measure the subject for adequate placement of the device prior to stimulation. Once the placement of the device is confirmed, the study technician administrating the treatment will turn on the device using the app downloaded on an electronic device connected by Bluetooth to the device.
