Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to observe the long term efficacy and safety of cerebellar continuous θ burst stimulation (cTBS) for drug-resistant Epilepsy during enhanced and maintenance phase,in order to provide a new treatment for long-term control of drug-resistant epilepsy and improve the quality of life of those patients. A total of 100 patients with DRE will undergo cTBS treatment by precise navigation to bilateral cerebellar dentate nuclei. The frequency and clinical feature of seizures, scalp EEG,clinical score, MOCA,MMSE,and QOLIE-31 were ssessed at baseline, after 2 weeks of enhanced phase,8 weeks of consolidate phase, and 8 weeks of maintenance phase.
