Neuromodulation (i.e. Vagus nerve stimulation and Deep brain stimulation) is a treatment option in pharmacoresistant epilepsy patients. However, about 30-50% of patients do not respond to this treatment. Our group focuses on understanding brain systems of epilepsy patients and the impact of neuromodulation therapy. Primary research objectives are to improve the selection of patients who may benefit from neuromodulation.
This project aims to identify novel biomarkers to predict the success of vagus nerve stimulation by combining electrophysiology and functional imaging.
This project is a collaboration between Departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Clinical Neurophysiology of the Medisch Spectrum Twente, the epilepsy center SEIN and the CNPH Group of the University of Twente.
