Clinical Trial: Treatment of Difficult to Control Focal Epilepsy With Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Multimodal Image-guided Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in the Treatment of Refractory Partial Epilepsy.

Brief Summary: The investigators will treat patients with fully characterized refractory unifocal neocortical epilepsy with a technique that delivers magnetic waves (transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS) to the region that causes the epilepsy. Active rTMS applied over the epileptogenic focus will reduce seizure frequency compared with sham rTMS.
