简要总结
The study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation of the hippocampus and the anterior nucleus of the thalamus for reducing the frequency of seizures in patients with bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy.
详细描述
The outcome of resective surgery for bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (BTLE) is poor. Neuromodulation such as deep brain stimulation is an alternative therapy for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, especially for those not suitable for resective surgery. This prospective, randomized, open-label trial aims to compare the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation of the hippocampus and the anterior nucleus of the thalamus for bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Seizure Frequency
时间窗: 3 years after DBS
The seizure frequency after DBS compared to the seizure frequency in baseline.
Seizure-Free Rate
时间窗: 3 years after DBS
The rate of patients who achieve seizure free after DBS. Patients don't have seizure for at least 1 year are considered seizure free.
Responder Rate
时间窗: 3 years after DBS
The rate of patients response to DBS, patients have at least 50% decrease in average seizure frequency after DBS are considered as responder.
次要结局
- Change in Percentage of Seizure-free Days(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
- Change in the Maximum Length of Seizure Intervals(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
- Change in GTCS Frequency(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
- Incidence Rate of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
- Change in Memory(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
- Change in Cognitive Function(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
- Change in Depression(1 year and 3 years after DBS)
