PHArmacotherapy Assessed Using Neuroprobing With TransOsseal Magnetic Stimulation

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The goal of this observational study is to investigate how prescribed anti-seizure medications (ASMs) affect cortical excitability in adults with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the magnitude of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-evoked potentials (TEPs) measured with electroencephalography (EEG) change between OFF and ON medication states? 2. Do these changes in TEP amplitude persist over time? Researchers will compare each participant's measurements in the OFF state with those in the ON state to see if TEPs change following ASM (re)start. Participants will undergo one TMS-EEG session scheduled around their prescribed ASM (re)start and one 1-6 months later.
