Kurt Qing

Kurt Qing, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine. His research focuses on the application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in treating neurological conditions, particularly focal status epilepticus and epileptiform discharges in critical care settings. The technology involves delivering cathodal current to reduce seizure activity, and his work demonstrates preliminary efficacy in reducing interictal spikes and electrographic seizures.

Research Interests:

• Critical care neurology
• Epilepsy and seizure disorders
• Noninvasive neuromodulation techniques
• Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in clinical contexts

Publications (not explicitly listed in provided text) demonstrate exploration of tDCS applications for seizure control, though specific titles and co-authors are not directly mentioned. His work aligns with broader trends in neuromodulation and seizure therapy, as evidenced by citations of related studies.
