Abstract
Continuous thetaburst stimulation for the treatment of refractory neocortical epilepsy
Highlights
Continuous thetaburst stimulation seems to be a potent protocol that could optimize safety, tolerability and applicability based on lower stimulation intensity and shorter duration
Patients with refractory neocortical epilepsy are treated with a 4-day Continuous thetaburst stimulation (cTBS) protocol targeted over the epileptogenic focus
Seizure frequency and adverse events are assessed over a 4-week baseline period and 8 weeks of follow-up
