It is my pleasure to introduce the 2025 of touchREVIEWS in Neurology, which brings together an exceptional collection of reviews, original research and congress highlights that reflect the continued evolution of neurological science and clinical innovation. This issue opens with Jelle ...
Epilepsy affects approximately 1% of the global population, with one-third of patients remaining refractory to medical therapy.1Â Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), defined as the failure of two appropriately chosen antiseizure medications (ASMs) to achieve seizure freedom, poses significant risks, including injury and ...
Welcome to the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Neurology. We are excited to present a collection of articles that showcase the latest advancements and diverse perspectives in neurological research and treatment. This issue features insightful reviews and editorials from esteemed ...
Rescue medications are an important part of the treatment regimen for patients with intractable epilepsy, specifically those who experience seizure clusters or prolonged seizure episodes. Rescue medications are prescribed to end seizure activity quickly and effectively in order to prevent ...
Neuromodulation is a recent technique that has increasingly been used for the abortive and preventive treatment of migraine and other primary headache disorders.1Â It has previously been found to be helpful in the treatment of other neurological illnesses, such as ...
Proceedings of a symposium presented at the 13th European Congress of Epileptology, Vienna, 26th August 2018, sponsored by LivaNova. The management of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) or treatment-resistant depression (TRD) remain serious challenges. Both conditions are common; epilepsy is believed ...
Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological conditions, has no geographic, social or racial boundaries and can affect people of all ages.1 It is frequently associated with co-morbidities, not just seizures, and is a condition that is linked ...
R. Mark Richardson, MD, PhD, director of the Epilepsy and Movement Disorders Program at UPMC, explains how these new tools, including stereo-electro encephalography and responsive neurostimulation, provide a more convenient and effective option for patients with epilepsy and seizure-related disorders.
Epilepsy is a general term used to describe a collection of common, chronic conditions of recurrent and unpredictable seizures. While seizures in newly diagnosed patients are often controlled with a single antiepileptic drug (AED),1 the estimated 30–40 % of patients who are ...
Neuromodulation Devices Vagus Nerve Stimulation Neuromodulation Devices Vagus Nerve Stimulation Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), first used for seizure treatment in the 1880s, was approved by the FDA in 1997 after decades of animal studies demonstrating reduction of chemically-induced seizures,1,2 and subsequent ...
Neuromodulation Devices Vagus Nerve Stimulation Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), first used for seizure treatment in the 1880s, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1997 after decades of animal studies demonstrating reduction of chemically induced seizures,1,2 and ...
All neurostimulation needs a source of power – now universally avbattery-powered system to power the implant and to allow patient mobility. As independence from a fixed power supply is essential, the generation, storage and supply of electricity has been one of ...
It is estimated that epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide.1 Although conventional antiepileptic medications as well as newly developed ones have improved response in the majority of patients, it is known that up to 30% do not respond to appropriate therapy ...
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Electrical stimulation of the 10th cranial nerve or vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has become a valuable option in the therapeutic armamentarium of adults and children with refractory epilepsy. Since its introduction in 1989 over 50,000 patients have been treated ...
Dystonia is a symptom that involves involuntary muscle contractions that are frequently sustained, but can be phasic. These contractions or spasms frequently result in abnormal posturing or repetitive movements in various parts of the body. Dystonia is often accompanied by ...
It is estimated that epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide.1 Although conventional antiepileptic medications as well as newly developed ones have improved response in the majority of patients, it is known that up to 30% do not respond to appropriate therapy ...
It is thought that motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) to a large extent result from pulsatile dopaminergic stimulation due to the short half-life and erratic absorption of oral levodopa therapy. Providing more continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS) has therefore ...
