Article Synopsis
- In this study, researchers wanted to find out if a new way of guiding epilepsy surgery using high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) was just as good as the traditional way using spikes to help stop seizures.
- They looked at both children and adults and assigned them randomly into two groups, one for HFO-guided and the other for spike-guided surgery, to see who had fewer seizures after one year.
- After one year, they found that 67% of the people in the HFO group had no seizures, which means this method could be a promising alternative to the old way!
