Does continuous monitoring with a wearable sensor detect changes in electrodermal activity during epileptic seizures?
A wearable sensor can continuously monitor electrodermal activity to detect massive sympathetic discharges during epileptic seizures.
We present a novel method for monitoring sympathetic nervous system activity during epileptic seizures using a wearable sensor measuring electrodermal activity (EDA). The wearable sensor enables long-term, continuous EDA recordings from patients. Preliminary results from our pilot study suggest that epileptic seizures induce a surge in EDA. These changes are greater in generalized tonic-clonic seizures and reflect a massive sympathetic discharge. This paper offers a new approach for investigating the relationship between epileptic seizures and autonomic alterations.
