Summary

The primary objective of this research is to study the efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of Piriform cortex as adjunctive therapy for reducing the frequency of seizures in drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy with bilateral hippocampal sclerosis

Detailed description

This project aims to include 5 participants, and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of piriform cortex stimulation in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral hippocampal sclerosis through A prospective, interventional, unblinded, single-arm clinical trial. It is expected to provide new therapeutic options for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral hippocampal sclerosis with alternative treatment options.

Conditions

• Epilepsy, Drug Resistant

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	piriform cortex-DBS	The surgical intervention named deep brain stimulation is a well-established neurosurgical treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy.The targets used in this study are biliteral piriform cortex.The devices used for intervention have been approved by Chinese National Medical Products Administration (CFDA). The postoperative drug dosage adjustment depends on the efficacy of DBS and the judgment of the epilepsy specialist.
