Neuromodulation and Comorbidities in Refractory Epilepsy

Neuromodulation and Comorbidities in Refractory Epilepsy

 

 

The research aims to collect comprehensive data related to epilepsy and outcomes associated with the neuromodulation devices (VNS, DBS).

CaNadian Observational Study of Epilepsy

CaNadian Observational Study of Epilepsy (CANOE)

 

The overall goal of the study is to broadly characterize epilepsy in the general Canadian population, explore etiology as well as the determinants of health outcomes in people with epilepsy.

Genetic Study

Outcome of Epilepsy Surgery in Patients with Medically Resistant Epilepsy

This is a genetic sub-study that will try and correlate surgical outcome and genetic testing results. 

MRI and EEG Activity

Structure-function Relationship in Epilepsy: How Brain MRI features influences EEG Activity (MRI2EEG)

 

This study seeks to investigate the correlation between brain structure and activity in individuals with epilepsy, a neurological disorder impacting approximately 0.7% of the global population.

7T MRI and Neurosurgery

Ultra-High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Stereotactic Neurosurgery

 

This study is for adults who are scheduled for stereotactic neurosurgery and/or Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of using imaging techniques at ultra-high field for visualizing brain structures that are treatment targets for neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease.

Neural Excitability Study

A Study of Neural Excitability in Human Patients Undergoing Brain Tissue Resections for the Treatment of Medically Resistant Epilepsy 

 

This study aims to investigate the correlation between changes in intrinsic cell properties within resected areas and surgical outcomes in patients undergoing epilepsy surgery.
