Sleep disturbances and drug-resistant seizures significantly impact people with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) offers potential treatment, but its effect on sleep and seizure control needs clarification. In this study, we combined wearable sleep monitoring with electroencephalogram (EEG) confirmation to investigate the impact of nocturnal centromedian nucleus (CM) DBS parameters in a patient with drug-resistant IGE. We found that high-frequency (125 Hz) CM stimulation during sleep severely disrupted sleep macro architecture and exacerbated seizures. Conversely, switching to low-frequency (10 Hz) stimulation enhanced both sleep quality and seizure control. This study underscores the critical need to personalize …
