About this trial

This is an interventional health services research trial for Epilepsy focused on measuring EEG triggered, fMRI, epilepsy, intractable

Eligibility Criteria

1 Year - 75 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Refractory epilepsy cases, referred by the service of Neurology. These are cases whose pathophysiology is resistant to treatment, including change in medication and or added medication.
  2. Patients will be included if they agree to sign an Institutional Review Board approved written consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with overt symptoms or signs of anxiety than cannot cooperate during the recording inside the scanner, unless consent is given for the procedure to be performed with sedation by the anesthesia department.
  2. Patients who meet the regular exclusion criteria for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies per the prescreening form reviewed with all patients prior to exams

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A prospective exploratory study in patients with drug resistant epilepsy with a target comparison of long term outcome. NeuroScan software modules and a MagLink will be used to acquire EEG in combination with MRI/fMRI data. The MagLink system is used for obtaining integrated EEG and Event Related Potential (ERP) recordings while the subject is inside the MRI machine, without compromising the raw EEG data.
