Danish Epilepsy Centre, Dianalund, Denmark
Acta Neurol Scand 121:58-62. 2010
..Ketogenic diet (KD) is an effective treatment for pharmacoresistant epilepsy: more than half of the patients show a greater than 50% reduction in seizures...
- Postictal inhibition of the somatosensory cortex
Sandor Beniczky
Danish Epilepsy Centre, Dianalund, Denmark
Neurol Sci 32:147-9. 2011

Department of Neurophysiology, Danish Epilepsy Centre, Dianalund, Denmark
Epilepsy Res 97:142-5. 2011
..Cathodal tDCS and sham stimulation were applied to the epileptic focus, before sleep (1 mA; 20 min). Cathodal tDCS did not reduce the spike-index in any of the patients...

- Diagnostic usefulness and duration of the inpatient long-term video-EEG monitoring: findings in patients extensively investigated before the monitoring
Jørgen Alving
Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Danish Epilepsy Centre, Visbys Allé 5, 4293 Dianalund, Denmark
Seizure 18:470-3. 2009
..However, patients referred for presurgical evaluation need considerably longer LTM, and this should be taken into account when planning the resources and calculating the costs...
- Danish study of a modified Atkins diet for medically intractable epilepsy in children: can we achieve the same results as with the classical ketogenic diet?
Maria J Miranda
Department of Paediatrics, Danish Epilepsy Centre, Filadelfia, Dianalund, Denmark
Seizure 20:151-5. 2011
