5 sense score may helps identify epilepsy patients: Study
A team of researchers in a new study published in JAMA Neurology have developed and validated a tool that can be helpful for doctors in determining epilepsy patients who will not benefit from invasive stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). This in turn will reduce the unnecessary invasive diagnostic burden on patients and also the overutilization of limited health care resources.
The researchers wrote, "high specificity in score development and validation confirms that the 5-SENSE score may predict patients where SEEG is unlikely to identify a focal seizure-onset zone."
