Abstract
The results support the hypothesis that individuals with focal-onset epilepsy have colder abdominal areas. If substantiated in further research, present study results will require further examination of the mechanisms of action for epilepsy, and suggest the need for re-examination of older formulations of abdominal epilepsy, including the place of abdominal injury, inflammation, and adhesions in epileptic pathology. The concept of somato-visceral and viscero-somatic neurological interactions is one of the possible mechanisms underlying the “cold spot” findings and warrants further consideration.
