Video-based automatic seizure detection in pharmacoresistant epilepsy: A prospective exploratory study

The SDD is useful to evaluate patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy and major focal motor seizures (hyperkinetic, tonic, clonic, focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures); it may facilitate the diagnostic process in patients referred for long-term inpatient video-EEG evaluation and beneficially change anti-seizure treatments. The SDD provided accurate classification of major focal motor seizures as epileptic, or non-epileptic, and may serve as a useful diagnostic tool to distinguish epileptic and non-epileptic episodic events with a prominent motor component.
