Background. In recent years, connectivity and brain plasticity have been vigorously addressed through new techniques for stimulating and monitoring brain activity such as TMS-EEG, TMS-fMRI or TMS-Spectroscopy. Nevertheless, many of them remain underused in the field of epilepsy. Objective of the study. To assess the available literature and the diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy of TMS-hdEEG stimulation in generalized forms of epilepsy. Material and Methods. We searched the PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE databases using the keywords „epilepsy”, „neuromodulation”, „TMS”, „high density EEG”, „magnetic”. Only articles written in English were analyzed. The time period covered was 2015 - 2022. At the same time, we studied the efficacy of coupling TMS stimulation with hdEEG in patients with generalized epilepsy by means of a pilot experimental randomized control trial. Results. In generalized forms of epilepsy, TMS-hdEEG provides an in-depth pathophysiological perspective elucidating clustering events and semi-stable, modified states of excitability that are directly associated with the generation of subsequent epileptiform discharges (EDs) leading to spatial spread. In addition to diagnostic values, TMS stimuli applied during EDs can suppress abnormal electrical activity and apparently restore the effective connectivity of the altered brain networks. These combined TMS actions of addressing cortical excitability on EDs may serve as a biomarker of therapeutic response to both pharmacological and non-pharmacological agents. Conclusion. New functional study paradigms by coupling TMS-hdEEG may provide a new perspective on the underlying mechanisms of generalized forms of epilepsy and the effectiveness of antiepileptic medication, serving as potential biomarkers of diagnosis, therapeutic response, and future prognosis in these patients. |
