Impact of transcranial electrical stimulation on simultaneous stereoelectroencephalography recordings: A randomized sham-controlled study
Objective
Clinical exploitation of transcranial electrical stimulation for focal epilepsy treatment lacks quantification of the underlying neurophysiological changes. This study explores the immediate effects of transcranial alternating (tACS) and direct (tDCS) current stimulation on local and network brain activity using simultaneous stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) recordings.
Methods
Patients were randomized for personalized tACS (n = 5) or tDCS (n = 6). Active stimulation (20 min) was preceded by sham stimulation (20 min). Changes in interictal epileptiform discharges (IED), functional connectivity (FC) and power spectral density (PSD) were quantified against baseline.
Results
Results demonstrated variable responses. Spike rate decreased in 2/6 subjects following sham and tDCS, while 2/6 showed an increase. Alpha power and aperiodic PSD components generally increased during and after tDCS but decreased following tACS. FC changes varied among subjects and were detectable even during sham sessions.
Conclusions
Strong variability suggests that tES does not have a univocal effect on immediate changes in IED or FC, possibly due to the single session format and challenges in affecting subcortical areas.
Significance
This is the first study to examine intracranial FC changes during tACS and tDCS, highlighting the importance of sham comparisons and individual variability in tES response, offering valuable insights into its application for epilepsy treatment.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
