Comparative Study
A blinded comparison of continuous versus sampled review of video-EEG monitoring data.
While there are well-established guidelines for optimum video-EEG monitoring (VEM), the process of reviewing VEM data varies amongst centres. In this study, we compared continuous with sampled reviewing of VEM data to assess whether their diagnostic yield differs. ⋯ Sampled review of VEM data captures sufficient data to reliably make accurate clinical decisions. It may be considered as a more cost and labor efficient alternative to continuous review.

Paired associative stimulation (PAS) modulates bilateral distal lower limb motor pathways during walking. We assessed the effects of inhibitory PAS applied to the vastus medialis (VM) motor pathways of chronic stroke patients. ⋯ The study has important implications for the development of therapies involving non-invasive brain stimulation to modify abnormal motor behavior following stroke.
