简要总结

Patients will be prospectively randomized to 3 different treatment arms:

  • Treatment group 1: patients who undergo medial temporal lobe resection
  • Treatment group 2: patients who receive immediate hippocampal neurostimulation
  • Treatment group 3: patients who are implanted with an intracranial electrode but in whom hippocampal neurostimulation is delayed for 6 months.

Twelve months after inclusion unblinding will occur. Patients in group 2 and 3 will have the option to choose between continuing neurostimulation treatment or resective surgery.

Study visits will occur every 3 months.

入选标准

  • Presurgical candidates with pharmacoresistant partial seizures despite optimal medical treatment and history of temporal lobe epilepsy
  • Age above 18 years
  • TIQ > 80
  • Able to give informed consent
  • Average of 2 partial seizures per month during a baseline of 3 months. Recording of seizures must have been done in a prospective manner using standard seizure diaries.
  • Able to adequately report seizure frequencies using standard seizure diaries
  • Video-EEG characteristics showing temporal lobe seizure onset (left-sided or right-sided seizure onset) in at least one recorded habitual seizure
  • Presence of a structural abnormality in the medial temporal lobe, suggestive of hippocampal sclerosis as evidenced by optimum MRI
  • Women of child-bearing age will be required to use a reliable method of contraception during the study duration

排除标准

  • Extratemporal epilepsy; multifocal epilepsy; evidence of bilateral medial temporal lobe epilepsy
  • MR evidence of potentially epileptogenic lesions outside the medial temporal lobe such as dysplasias, tumours or cavernomas
  • Prior resective intracranial surgery
  • Patients who are candidates for invasive video-EEG recording or have previously been investigated with invasive video-EEG recording
  • Patients who previously underwent any other type of neurostimulation for treating epilepsy
  • Patients who are unable to fill in questionnaires and comply with protocol requirements
  • Progressive neurological or medical conditions
  • Medical or psychiatric conditions precluding surgery or compliance
  • Patients taking antidepressant medication
  • Pregnancy at study onset
  • Previous (within the last 3 months), ongoing or planned participation in other treatment study protocols for epilepsy
  • Contraindication for intracranial surgery

结局指标

主要结局

To assess whether stimulation and/or resection produces a reduction in mean monthly seizure frequency that is greater than in the control group over 6 months of follow-up.

时间窗: 6 months

To assess whether stimulation produces a reduction in mean monthly seizure frequency that is comparable to resection at 6 and 12 months of follow-up.

时间窗: at 6 and 12 months of follow-up

次要结局

  • To assess whether stimulation yields better neuropsychological outcome compared to resection at 12 months of follow-up.(at 12 months of follow-up)
  • mean seizure free interval during 3 month intervals(3 month intervals)
  • seizure severity and seizure type during 3-month intervals(3-month intervals)
  • quality of life: changes in QOLIE 89 score at 6 and 12 months(at 6 and 12 months)
  • responder rates during 3 month intervals(3 months intervals)
  • Operative and postoperative complications and long-term side effects(during twelve months after inclusion)
  • Safety Objectives:(during twelve months after inclusion)
  • mood assessment: changes in Beck depression scale scores at 6 and 12 month(at 6 and 12 month)
