NCT ID: NCT06310772 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Assessing Comorbidities in Epilepsy Using Eye Movement Recordings

ACER
Start date: April 15, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study wants to make it easier to find kids with a type of epilepsy called childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) who might have problems with ongoing seizures and thinking. Right now, doctors use tests that can be expensive and take a long time. Eysz is developing a system that looks at how kids move their eyes which might help find CAE more quickly and accurately. This study will compare Eysz with the usual tests to see if it can predict seizures and thinking problems in kids with CAE. The goal is to find these problems earlier and help kids do better in school and life.

NCT ID: NCT06093490 Recruiting - Seizures Clinical Trials

Detecting Absence Seizures Using Hyperventilation and Eye Movement Recordings

DASHER
Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study is being done to find out if a smartphone app can identify absence seizures. Children who have a history of absence seizures, as well as children without any seizure history, will be testing out the app. If participating the child will be guided through hyperventilation, an activity that asks the child to take quick, deep breaths. The app will record video of the child's face and sounds they make during hyperventilation. Hyperventilation is a safe and established technique frequently used during EEG (electroencephalogram) to encourage seizure occurrence. The App will be used during a regularly scheduled EEG.

NCT ID: NCT04799795 Recruiting - Epilepsy, Absence Clinical Trials

Objective EEG Bed Side Assessment of Impaired Conscious Awareness in Epilepsy

Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In this project EEG recordings between healthy participants and those with a diagnosed Absence-epilepsy will be compared. The investigators suggest differences in EEG microstate analysis and neuropsychological parameters related to interictal cognitive impairment in these patients. This projects goal is to derive an EEG-based measure of conscious awareness.

NCT ID: NCT04666610 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Childhood Absence Epilepsy

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Brivaracetam as Monotherapy in Patients 2 to 25 Years of Age With Childhood Absence Epilepsy or Juvenile Absence Epilepsy

EXPAND
Start date: July 29, 2021
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy, safety and tolerability of brivaracetam monotherapy in study participants 2 to 25 years of age inclusive with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) or juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE).

NCT ID: NCT04274179 Recruiting - Ketogenic Dieting Clinical Trials

Ketogenic Diet for New-Onset Absence Epilepsy

Start date: August 10, 2020
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The ketogenic diet is a medical therapy for epilepsy that is used nearly predominantly for refractory epilepsy (after 2-3 drugs have been tried and failed). However, there is both published evidence for first-line use (infantile spasms, Glut1 deficiency syndrome) and also anecdotal experience (families choosing to change the child's (or the family' own) diet rather than use anticonvulsant medications). Childhood absence epilepsy (refractory) has been published as being responsive to ketogenic diet therapy by the investigators' group previously. This is a small, prospective, 3 month trial to assess if using a modified Atkins diet is a feasible and effective option for new-onset childhood absence epilepsy. The investigators will compare to a group of children in which the parents have declined and chose to start anticonvulsant medications.

NCT ID: NCT02954107 Recruiting - Absence Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Longitudinal Early Epilepsy Study

LEES
Start date: September 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This longitudinal study will focus on the cognitive and brain development of children with absence epilepsy. In addition, the investigators aim to identify prognostic factors for cognitive deterioration and/or poor seizure control in these children.
