Real-world epilepsy monitoring with ultra-long-term subcutaneous electroencephalography: A 15-month prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Novel subcutaneous electroencephalography (sqEEG) systems enable prolonged, near-continuous cerebral monitoring in real-world conditions. Nevertheless, the feasibility, acceptability and overall clinical utility of these systems remain unclear. We report on the longest observational study using ultra-long-term sqEEG to date.

Methods

We conducted a 15-month prospective, observational study including 10 adult people with treatment-resistant epilepsy. After device implantation, patients were asked to record sqEEG, to use an electronic seizure diary, and to complete acceptability and usability questionnaires. sqEEG seizures were annotated visually, aided by automated detection. Individualized temporal patterns of seizure occurrence were assessed via circadian circular
