  • Patent number: 9849300
    Abstract: Method and devices are provided for treating subjects with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). According to some approaches, the methods and devices are configured for the treatment of ongoing seizures. Other approaches relate to the use of TMS as an antiepileptogenic or for use in determining preferential placement of intracranial probes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 18, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2017
    Assignees: Children's Medical Center Corporation, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc.
    Inventors: Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Alexander Rotenberg, Iain Glass, Frances E. Jensen
  • Patent number: 8822539
    Abstract: Inhibitors of NKCC1, such as bumetanide, when coadministered with inhibitors of GABA transaminase, such as vigabatrin, attenuate both the retinal toxicity and the intramyelinic edema.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2014
    Assignee: Children's Medical Center Corporation
    Inventor: Frances E. Jensen
  • Patent number: 8785446
    Abstract: Patients are subject to a post-seizure treatment regime to separately inhibitor consecutive targets of an epileptogenic cascade comprising neurotransmitter receptor signaling, kinase/phosphatase activity, protein translation, and apoptosis or inflammation.

  • Patent number: 6921775
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for modulating brain damage mediated by non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists, as topiramate, in conditions such as periventricular leukomalacia, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and neonatal stroke.

  • Publication number: 20030092730
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for modulating brain damage mediated by non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists are provided. Methods for inhibiting neuronal cell damage and death in the brain following an injury (e.g., ischemic/hypoxic injury) and methods for inhibiting cell damage and death in conditions such as periventricular leukomalacia, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and neonatal stroke, are also provided. These methods generally involve treating a subject with a non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonist. Pharmaceutical and packaged formulations that include non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists are also provided.
