神经刺激术治疗儿童难治性癫癎研究进展

Research progress of nerve stimulation in the treatment of epilepsy in children

神经刺激术治疗癫癎是通过电流作用于中枢神经系统,以达到减少癫癎发作频率及强度的目的。目前可用于治疗儿童癫癎的神经刺激术包括迷走神经刺激术、反应性神经电刺激术、脑深部电刺激术、连续阈下皮质刺激术和经颅直流电刺激。本文对上述神经刺激术用于儿童难治性癫癎的研究进展进行综述,分析其控制癫癎发作的有效性和安全性,为神经刺激术用于临床治疗儿童难治性癫癎提供参考。

Nerve stimulation treatment of epilepsy is to stimulate the central nervous system through electric current,thereby reducing the frequency and severity of epilepsy seizures.The current nerve stimulation methods that may be used to treat pediatric epilepsy include vagus nerve stimulation,responsive neurostimulator system,deep brain stimulation,chronic subthreshold cortical stimulation,and transcranial direct current stimulation.This article reviews the use of these neurostimulation techniques in epilepsy to analyze the effectiveness and safety of these treatments,and to provide references for the clinical treatment of intractable epilepsy in children.
