OBJECTIVE We previously reported that brief pulses of electrical stimulation (BPSs) can terminate afterdischarges (ADs) during cortical stimulation. We investigated conditions under which BPS is more likely to suppress ADs. METHODS We analyzed parameters altering BPS effectiveness on 200 ADs in seven patients with implanted subdural electrodes. RESULTS The odds of BPSs stopping ADs was 8.6 times greater at primary sites (directly stimulated electrodes) than at secondary sites (adjacent electrodes) (p = 0.016). BPS applied within 4.5 s after onset of AD had 2 times greater odds of stopping ADs (p = 0.014). BPS applied when AD voltage was negative was 1.9 times more likely to stop ADs (p = 0.012). ADs with rhythmic pattern responded best (p < 0.0001). BPS stopped 100% of ADs not starting immediately after localization stimulus (LS) versus 29% of those starting immediately (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS BPS is more likely to terminate ADs at primary electrodes, if given early, if applied to the negative peak of the AD waveform, if AD has a rhythmic pattern, and if AD did not start immediately after LS.

D004828 Epilepsies, Partial Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
