Purpose: Patients with severe drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) experience psychomotor disorders. Our study aimed to assess the psychomotor outcomes after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in this population.
Methods: We prospectively evaluated psychomotor function in 17 adult patients with severe DRE who were referred for VNS.
Purpose: This study aimed to describe and analyze psychomotor functions in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and identify factors associated with psychomotor deficits.
Methods: We performed a prospective case-control study comparing psychomotor skill performances in 40 adult patients and 80 healthy individuals between October 2017 and March 2018. Psychomotor functions were examined in both patients and controls using a full set of specific tests (Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test, Zazzo's cancelation task, Piaget-Head test, and paired images test).
