  • Method for determining stimulation parameters for the treatment of epileptic seizures
    Patent number: 6161045
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the optimal electrical stimulation parameters for intracranial stimulation therapy before implantation of a device for electrical stimulation therapy for epilepsy. This method would be used during intracranial electrical stimulation and monitoring procedures which are currently used to identify an epileptic region and map regional brain function prior to resective surgery. This method is used to determine therapeutic stimulation parameters during an evaluation procedure that can be carried out prior to the implantation of a closed-loop electrical stimulation device that is responsive to the onset of an epileptic seizure.
