Interventions

  • temporally-interfering electric field stimulation — DEVICE
    Temporally-interfering electric field stimulation is a candidate non-invasive means to stimulate and modulate the nervous system. We do not know of any other trials of this method in epilepsy patients.

Study Details

This study investigates the potential for temporally-interfering electric field stimulation (TIEFS) to treat epilepsy. In this case series within and between subjects design, the impact of TIEFS on epilepsy biomarkers was studied in patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy. Secondary analyses examine the underlying physiological effects of TIEF on local brain activity and brain networks.
