Brief Summary:
This will be a prospective, pilot, open-label, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) neuromodulation using NaviFUS System in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
Detailed Description:
The study aims to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of LIFU neuromodulation in DRE patients, showing its ability to decrease targeted neuronal activity and alleviate epileptic seizures.
Drug-resistant epilepsy (at least 3 anti-seizure medication failed) patients whose epileptogenic foci have been determined by comprehensive presurgical evaluation and meet all eligibility criteria may participate in this study by providing informed consent. Eligible patients will undergo a 8-week baseline observation screening period and will be asked to keep a 8-week seizure diary. This diary will serve as a baseline prior to treatment and will continue to be recorded throughout the treatment and follow-up period.
This study will enroll a maximum of 16 eligible patients. Eligible patients will be randomized into two groups to receive three-consecutive 5-minute twice (low dose group) or three-consecutive 10-minute FUS treatment twice (high dose group) in a week using assigned ultrasound exposure doses generated by the NaviFUS System. Following treatment, there will be a 24-week follow-up period. Patients will be allowed concomitant use of anti-seizure medications (ASMs) throughout the whole study period.
