Abstract

Target. To investigate the effect of the EpiTapp® application on alpha rhythm synchronization in patients with genetic generalized epilepsy.Materials and methods. The total sample size was 81 people, including: patients suffering from juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (main group, mean age — 2 7 [23; 38] years) — 30 people; healthy volunteers (control group, mean age — 39 [21; 56] years) — 51 people.Results. The present study showed that wrist tapping using the EpiTapp® application statistically significantly reduced the degree of alpha synchronization in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. At the same time, a decrease in the synchronization of the alpha rhythm is achieved in 66.7 % of cases.Conclusion. Our results of changes in the bioelectrical activity of the brain after a session of wrist tapping indicate the possibility of using the EpiTapp® application as a non-drug rehabilitation method related to seizure relief programs in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
