Summary

This single-center prospective study aims to investigate the treatment efficacy of temporal interference (TI) in drug-resistant epilepsy patients aged 6-60.

Detailed description

Temporal Interference (TI) technology is a novel non-invasive method for deep brain stimulation (DBS). By generating an overlapping electric field from safe currents, TI creates focused stimulation in targeted deep brain areas. This approach allows for the exploration of deep brain nuclei functions and has the potential to serve as a non-invasive alternative to traditional invasive DBS for clinical treatments. This study aims to investigate the treatment efficacy of TI deep brain stimulation by including drug-resistant patients aged 6-60. During and after TI stimulation, clinical and electrophysiology data will be recorded. Clinical, imaging and electrophysiology data will be analyzed and processed to advance the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy.
