New treatment option for Epilepsy
Official title Functional Brain Mapping for Patients with Epilepsy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05755919
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- We aim to determine the clinical utility of 'dynamic tractography': a novel method for visualizing electrical neural transfers that incorporates the underlying white matter tracts and supporting linguistic processing. We will also determine how well objective electrophysiology biomarkers will improve the prediction of language outcomes following epilepsy surgery.
