ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryStimulation-Induced Change in Anterior Thalamic Slow-Gamma (20-50 Hz) Power at 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0 mA3 months after stimulation activation
Stimulation-induced change in anterior thalamic local field potential (LFP) power in the 20-50 Hz slow-gamma band, quantified as ΔSG = ln(P\_ON/P\_OFF), where P\_ON and P\_OFF are integrated band power during 60 s of stable continuous stimulation and during the immediately preceding 2-minute stimulation-off baseline, respectively, recorded with the implanted device (BrainSense Streaming). At the 3-month visit, ΔSG is measured at 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0 mA, with at least two repetitions per amplitude in a counterbalanced order; repeats are averaged within each hemisphere and then across hemispheres. Participants who cannot tolerate bilateral 5.0 mA are tested at the highest amplitude tolerated on both sides and analyzed separately in prespecified available-dose sensitivity analyses. Zero indicates no change; negative values indicate suppression.
SecondaryTest-Retest Agreement of the Acute Slow-Gamma ResponseAt stimulation activation, and 1 and 3 months after activation
Intraclass correlation coefficient (two-way mixed-effects, absolute agreement, single measure) between the two repeated measurements of ΔSG (defined in the primary outcome) at the same amplitude and visit, calculated for each amplitude at each visit.
SecondaryDifference in Slow-Gamma Response Between 3.5 and 2.0 mA at 1 Month1 month after stimulation activation
Within-participant difference in repeat-averaged ΔSG (defined in the primary outcome) between 3.5 and 2.0 mA (3.5 minus 2.0 mA), tested at the same visit as supportive replication of the primary dose-response.
SecondaryAmplitude-Response Slope of the Slow-Gamma Response3 months after stimulation activationPer-participant slope of repeat-averaged ΔSG (defined in the primary outcome) against stimulation amplitude across 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0 mA, in log ratio per mA.
SecondaryChange in Slow-Gamma Response to 2.0 mA Stimulation Across VisitsAt stimulation activation, and 1 and 3 months after activation
Repeat-averaged ΔSG (defined in the primary outcome) at 2.0 mA at each visit, each normalized to its own local stimulation-off baseline, describing how the response to the same amplitude changes with cumulative chronic stimulation.
SecondaryDevice-Matched Narrow-Band Power Change During Acute ChallengesAt stimulation activation, and 1 and 3 months after activation
Power in an approximately 5-Hz band centered on each participant's chronic sensing frequency, recomputed offline from the same challenge recordings and expressed as ln(ON/OFF). Its agreement with ΔSG is assessed by Spearman correlation and direction concordance.
SecondaryChange in Chronic Narrow-Band Anterior Thalamic Power During the First 3 Months of StimulationFrom the stimulation-free period after implantation to 3 months after stimulation activation
Narrow-band power stored by the device during daily life (BrainSense Timeline), normalized to the stimulation-free period after implantation; change from a prespecified early stimulation window to a window at month 3. Its relation to ΔSG is assessed by Spearman correlation.
SecondaryPercent Reduction in Monthly Seizure Frequency in Months 7-12Preoperative baseline and months 7-12 after stimulation activation
(Baseline monthly seizure frequency - mean monthly seizure frequency in months 7-12) / baseline × 100, from seizure diaries; positive values indicate reduction. Baseline uses a prospective diary of at least 8 weeks (target 12 weeks) before implantation where available, and otherwise systematically recorded diaries or medical records. Its relation to the acute and chronic LFP measures is assessed by Spearman correlation.
SecondaryOverlap of the Modeled Stimulation Field With the Anterior Thalamic Nucleus and Mammillothalamic TractPostoperative imaging, modeled for challenge conditions at activation and 1 and 3 months after activation
Overlap of the modeled electric field (volume of tissue activated) with the anterior thalamic nucleus and with the mammillothalamic tract for each challenge condition, expressed as the percentage of each structure's volume, estimated with Lead-DBS from postoperative CT co-registered to preoperative MRI. Active-contact location and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) structural connectivity are analyzed as additional explanatory measures. Relation to ΔSG is assessed by Spearman correlation.
OtherPercent Reduction in Focal-to-Bilateral Tonic-Clonic Seizure FrequencyPreoperative baseline and months 7-12 after stimulation activationSame calculation as the main seizure outcome, restricted to focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, in participants who have them at baseline; prespecified sensitivity anchor
OtherPercent Reduction in Caregiver-Corroborated or Witnessed Disabling Seizure FrequencyPreoperative baseline and months 7-12 after stimulation activationSame calculation, restricted to disabling seizures witnessed or confirmed by a cohabiting or primary caregiver; prespecified sensitivity anchor
OtherBurden of Device-Recorded Electrographic Seizure-Like Events and Epileptiform TransientsFrom implantation to 12 months after stimulation activation
Number of electrographic seizure-like events or epileptiform transients per hour of analyzable recording (per analyzable segment for event-triggered recordings), using prespecified criteria. Where possible, events are adjudicated independently by two clinical neurophysiologists blinded to clinical outcomes. Calculated only for participants with raw time-domain or event-specific LFP recordings; agreement with diary-based seizure outcomes is assessed.
OtherProportion of Planned Acute Challenges Completed With Two Valid Repeats at Each AmplitudeAt stimulation activation, and 1 and 3 months after activationChallenges with two valid repeats at every planned amplitude, divided by challenges planned
OtherProportion of Participants Reaching 5.0 mA on Both Sides3 months after stimulation activationReasons for not reaching it (adverse event, seizure worsening, clinical judgment or technical limitation) are reported
OtherProportion of Recordings With Analyzable Bilateral Local Field Potential SignalsWithin 1 week after implantation, and at stimulation activation and 1 and 3 months after activationRecordings meeting prespecified signal-quality criteria in both hemispheres, divided by recordings performed
