Electrohaemodynamic Activity in Epileptic Children : Combined Video-EEG and Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Analysis

Completed
Conditions
Epilepsy
Registration Number
NCT02814331
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens
Brief Summary

Evaluate the contribution of multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS electrical and local haemodynamic analysis to spatial localization of epileptogenic foci

Detailed Description

This study is designed to evaluate the contribution of multimodal high-resolution EEG-NIRS electrical and local haemodynamic analysis (HR-EEG, HR-NIRS) to spatial localization of epileptogenic foci in order to perform multimodal mapping and localization of interictal spikes (by HR-EEG source reconstruction) with the clinical prospects of guiding the SEEG electrode implantation strategy prior to surgery in children with drug-refractory partial epilepsy.
