Some observations in treatment stimulation of epilepsy.
In a group of 10 patients suffering from epilepsy therapeutic stimulation was applied by means of chronic electrodes and a technical stimulator three times in nucleus dentatus, five times in nucleus caudatus, once in both structures simultaneously. Once chronic electrodes were introduced into the amygdalo-hippocampal complex and non-specific thalanic system bilaterally. One patient was stimulated by means of a pacemaker and once by normal rhythm from the hypothalamus of the same patient using magnetic tape. The patients were subjected to stimulations once a day for a period of 1-8 days. The results obtained are being discussed with respect to Goddard's kindling phenomenon.
