Non-invasiv præ-kirurgisk evaluering af patienter med fokal epilepsi og etablering af en normativ billeddannelsesdatabase
Objectives:
The overall study objective is to compare the sensitivities and specificities of morphometric analysis techniques using structural MRI images based on pre- and postsurgical localization of epileptic foci in patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for medically refractory epilepsy. To carry out these analyses, we aim to establish an age-stratified normative imaging database using healthy volunteers. Additional objectives are to identify abnormal networks in these patients using resting state fMRI/EEG and MEG/EEG, and to use language and memory fMRI tasks to examine the effects of epileptogenic zones and surgery on cognitive function and the networks associated with these functions.
Study population:
300 adults and children (age 8 and older) with uncontrolled focal epilepsy, and 200 age-stratified healthy volunteers.
Design: A retrospective and prospective natural history study. Research procedures for patients in this study include neuropsychological testing and 1-4 MRI sessions during presurgical evaluation and an additional 1-3 MRI sessions and neuropsychological testing approximately 12 months post-operatively. Research testing (such as research neuropsychological tests or MRI scanning sequences) will be done during a visit for clinical testing whenever possible, likely reducing the number of required visits. Patients will also have optional MEG and 7T structural imaging. Data will also be obtained from patients who have already undergone epilepsy surgery if they had procedures as outlined in the protocol and are willing to share the data. Healthy volunteers will receive a subset of the pre-operative procedures for patients, requiring at least 3 visits. In order to ensure adequate data acquisition, subjects may be re-scanned up to three times for the portions of the study in which they participated, possibly requiring additional visits.
Outcome measures:
The main outcomes will be establishment of normative values for morphometric analysis methods in age-stratified normal controls, and comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of these measures to pre- and postsurgical localization of the epileptogenic zone. Secondary outcome measures will include determination of the sensitivity and specificity of source localization using MEG/EEG and resting state fMRI/EEG, and to evaluate changes in activation during rest, as well as language and memory fMRI tasks in patients pre- and postsurgically, to examine the effects of epileptogenic zones and surgery on cognitive function and the networks underlying these functions.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Objectives: The overall study objectives of this study are 1) to establish an age-stratified normative imaging database, 2) to explore the use of non-invasive imaging techniques such as morphometric analysis of structural MRI, resting state fMRI/EEG and resting state MEG/EEG to localize seizure foci. The sensitivities and specificities of analysis techniques will be determined based on pre- and postsurgical localization of epileptic foci in patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for medically refractory epilepsy. Additional objectives are to identify abnormal networks in these patients using resting state fMRI/EEG and MEG/EEG, to explore the use of language and memory fMRI tasks to examine the effects of epileptogenic zones and surgery on cognitive function and the networks associated with these functions, and to explore whether changes in resting state and task-based fMRI networks can be identified following epilepsy surgery, and how these changes relate to seizure and neuropsychological outcomes.
Study population: 500 adults and children (age 8 and up) with uncontrolled focal epilepsy, and 200 age-stratified healthy volunteers.
Design: A retrospective and prospective natural history study. Research procedures for patients in this study include 1-4 MRI sessions during presurgical evaluation and additional 1-3 MRI sessions approximately 12 months post-operatively.

Outcome measures:
The main outcomes will be establishment of normative values for morphometric analysis methods in age-stratified normal controls, with exploratory outcome measures of determination of comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of these measures to pre and postsurgical localization of the epileptogenic zone. Exploratory outcome measures include determination of the sensitivity and specificity of source localization using morphometric analysis of structural MRI, resting state MEG/EEG and resting state fMRI/EEG, evaluation of changes in activation during rest, as well as language and memory fMRI tasks in patients pre- and post-surgically, and examination of the effects of epileptogenic activity and surgery on cognitive function and the networks underlying these functions.

MRI of the brain is routinely used to identify abnormal areas of cortex in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. MRI evaluations of brain may be performed at field strengths of 1.5T, 3T, and/or 7T, under conditions designated by the FDA as constituting nonsignificant risk. MEG/EEG: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is commonly used during epilepsy pre-surgical evaluations to help with localizing epileptic foci. MEG will be obtained as clinically indicated, usually in patients with unclear seizure focus localization who are undergoing presurgical evaluation, particularly when they have frequent interictal discharges on EEG. MEG records very small magnetic fields generated by the brain at rest, or in response to a task or to epileptic activity. Resting state MEG/EEG analysis will be used for research purposes only. |
