Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study mechanism of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for seizure reduction by analyzing slow cortical potentials (SCP), and to evaluate plausibility of SCP as a biomarker for predicting good responders of VNS in advance.
Method: We analyzed clinical routine EEGs from 11 patients with intractable epilepsy treated with VNS. These EEGs were recorded by AC coupled amplifier with hardware time constant (TC) 10 sec in 7 patients and 2 sec in the remaining 4 patients.
Results:
5 patients with TC 10 sec recording had a seizure frequency reduction >50% and showed positive SCP during VNS on-time. The remaining 2 patients had seizure reduction <50%, and did not show significant positive or negative shift. Correlation between positive SCP and seizure reduction >50% was significant (Fisher's exact test =0.048)
In TC 2 sec recorded patient group, 1 patient with seizure reduction >50% showed SCP positivity. In another patient with seizure reduction >50%, SCP showed negative shift. The remaining 2 patients had seizure reduction <50%, and no significant SCP shift to positivity or negativity was observed. As the number of patients in this group was small, statistical analysis was not performed.
Conclusion: Positive polarity of SCP associated with VNS could represent the inhibitory activity induced by VNS on the seizure control. SCP could be a biomarker to predict the good responders before VNS surgery if we would apply transient, noninvasive methods such as transcutaneous VNS before surgery. Recording with TC 10 sec may show more informative SCP than recording with TC 2 sec. Initial large potential due to polarized electrodes may distort biological slow activity and this should be taken into account.
