Epilepsy as a brain disease is characterised by enhanced brain excitability. Low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be an effective treatment for refractory focal epilepsy. Today different ways of stimulation were used, the best protocol of rTMS in refractory focal epilepsy is under evaluation. The aim of our study is neuropsychological and electrophysiological evaluation before and after rTMS sessions, the results of rTMS will be compared with VNS outcome in patients, who undergoes VNS implantation after rTMS.
