Personalized multichannel transcranial direct current electrical stimulation ( <scp>tDCS</scp> ) in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A <scp>SEEG</scp> based open‐labeled study
This study tested a personalized brain stimulation technique called tDCS in people with difficult-to-treat epilepsy. The treatment led to fewer seizures in some patients and improved their quality of life. The approach was safe and caused only mild side effects. These results suggest that this type of noninvasive brain stimulation may be a helpful new option for people who do not benefit from medication or surgery.
