Zusammenfassung

Die Notwendigkeit der Suche nach alternativen Behandlungsmethoden der Epilepsie wird dadurch deutlich, dass trotz wesentlicher pharmakologischer Fortschritte [18] etwa 30% der Patienten, welche an einer Epilepsie leiden, auch unter medikamentöser Behandlung Anfälle haben, die zu einer Behinderung im Alltagsleben führen [23]. Ablative chirurgische Eingriffe mit Entfernung von epileptogenem Hirngewebe sind dann in Betracht zu ziehen, wenn die Anfälle einen fokalen Ursprung haben, und wenn die präoperative Abklärung zeigt, dass die Entfernung des Gewebes nicht mit zusätzlichen und inakzeptablen neurologischen oder kognitiven Defiziten einhergeht [12]. Stimulationsverfahren zur Neuromodulation wurden früher in verschiedenen Hirnregionen eingesetzt: im Cerebellum [7, 31], im Nucleus anterior thalami [8], im Centrum medianum thalami [13, 26], im Nucleus ventralis intermedius thalami (eigene unveröffentlichte Daten), und im Nucleus caudatus [6]. Bekannter wurde die Stimulation des Nervus vagus [15, 25]. Abgesehen von diesen indirekten Zugängen wurde auch vorgeschlagen eine fokale Stimulation der epileptogenen Areale selbst vorzunehmen [27]. Aufgrund experimenteller Untersuchungen gibt es mittlerweile auch genügend Daten, die es rechtfertigen, die chronische Stimulation im nigralen System bzw. im Nucleus subthalamicus beim Menschen zu untersuchen.
