Electrical Stimulation of the Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus for Intractable Epilepsy: A Long‐term Follow‐up Study

Abstract

Implantation of electrodes in the ANT and subsequent stimulation is associated with a significant reduction in seizure frequency. However, our study could not differentiate whether the implantation itself, the subsequent stimulation or postimplantation drug manipulation had the greatest impact. These experimental results prompt further controlled study in a large patient population.
