Low-frequency stimulation of the primary focus retards positive transfer of secondary focus

Abstract Positive transfer of secondary focus (PTS) refers to new epileptogenesis outside the primary focus and is minimally controlled by existing treatments. Low-frequency stimulation (LFS) has benefits on the onset of epilepsy and epileptogenesis. However, it’s unclear whether LFS can retard the...
