A Study to Evaluate Therapeutic and Side Effects of Brain Stimulation

Overview

About this study

The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of brain stimulation techniques currently used for clinical patient care. To determine the likelihood of improvements in seizure frequency, neurological symptoms, and quality of life after treatment with brain stimulation in certain populations, as well as evaluate for any beneficial or deleterious side effects from these modalities. In addition, in instances were brain stimulation was used for diagnostic purposes such as with cortical mapping via TMS, outcomes will be compared to other results already available in the electronic medical record system (e.g., MRI).
