There is an unmet need to improve therapy for neuropsychiatric comorbidities that are highly prevalent in persons with epilepsy (PWE). However, diagnosing and monitoring the neurobehavioral symptoms is challenging as their presentation can overlap with seizures. In this retrospective study, we report the advantage of chronic ambulatory electrocorticography (ECoG) from implanted Responsive Neurostimulator System (RNS®) in characterizing these psychosomatic paroxysms as a possible ictal, postictal, or interictal phenomenon and how the diagnosis guided the therapy choices. Five out of 21 patients with RNS had neuropsychiatric symptoms (panic attack, psychosis, conversion, and somatization disorders) that overlapped with their seizure semiology and were found to benefit from the use of RNS ECoG data by timely diagnosing and titrating targeted therapies. The cases illustrate the use of RNS ECoG data in diagnosing and improving the management of comorbidities in PWE. The ability to access RNS ECoG data and correlate it with patient symptoms is unique among available therapeutic options for PWE.

对于癫痫患者 (pwwe) 中非常普遍的神经精神合并症,改善治疗的需求尚未得到满足。然而,诊断和监测神经行为症状具有挑战性,因为它们的表现可能与癫痫发作重叠。在这项回顾性研究中,我们报告了植入的反应性神经刺激器系统 (RNS) 的慢性动态皮层脑电图 (ECoG) 的优势®) 将这些心身发作表征为可能的发作期,发作期或发作期现象,以及诊断如何指导治疗选择。在21例RNS患者中,有5例具有与癫痫发作符号学重叠的神经精神症状 (惊恐发作,精神病,转换和躯体化障碍),并通过及时诊断和滴定靶向治疗而受益于RNS ECoG数据的使用。这些案例说明了RNS ECoG数据在诊断和改善pw我们合并症中的管理中的应用。访问RNS ECoG数据并将其与患者症状相关联的能力在pwwe的可用治疗选择中是独一无二的。
