Advances in Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Techniques for Epilepsy Treatment

Abstract

Leela Vathi

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. While medication remains the primary treatment option, a significant proportion of patients experience inadequate seizure control or intolerable side effects. In recent years, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques have gained attention as potential adjunctive therapies for epilepsy. These techniques aim to modulate brain activity and disrupt seizure activity through targeted stimulation. This article provides an overview of the recent advances in non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), and their potential as innovative approaches in the management of epilepsy.
