Measuring spike strength in patients with continuous spikes and waves during sleep: Comparison of methods for prospective use as a clinical index

Highlights • Assessment of epileptiform EEG activity in the patients with continuous spikes and waves during sleep (CSWS) needs new objective measures. • Strength of epileptiform spikes during sleep offers a method complementary to previously used spike index. • Spatial integration over multiple ele...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Assessment of epileptiform EEG activity in the patients with continuous spikes and waves during sleep (CSWS) needs new objective measures. • Strength of epileptiform spikes during sleep offers a method complementary to previously used spike index. • Spatial integration over multiple electrodes during steady NREM sleep renders the measures of spike strength stable enough for clinical use.
