7. Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation reduces seizure frequency and modulates brain functional connectivity with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy: A sham controlled study

Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) is a technique able to non-invasively inhibit cortical excitability, which is abnormally increased in epilepsy, but its efficacy in reducing seizures and in modulating epileptic network is still under debate.We evaluated the efficacy of 20-min 1mA ctDCS vs sham-tDCS in reducing seizure frequency and in modulating the functional connectivity (FC) between epileptic focus (EF) and the other cortical areas, in 10 temporal drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients.
