Absence Epilepsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Longitudinal Early Epilepsy Study
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.
The aim is to study the cognitive and brain development of children with absence epilepsy. In
addition, this study aims to identify prognostic factors for cognitive deterioration and/or
poor seizure control.
Objective:
1. To study the development of cognition in children with absence epilepsy and the
functional brain organization over time.
2. To find prognostic factors in terms of clinical, 24h-video-EEG or/and MRI
characteristics for cognitive deterioration and/or poor seizure control in patients with
absence epilepsy.
Study design:
2 year prospective longitudinal, controlled, comparative, clinical, follow up.
Study population:
60 children with recently diagnosed (<2 years) absence epilepsy, aged 6 to 12 years. In
addition, this study includes a control group of 15 age and gender matched healthy
volunteers.
Main study parameters/endpoints:
Endpoints are the development of clinical parameters (semiology, 24h-video-EEG and seizure
control), neuropsychological/behavioural outcomes, structural/functional MRI parameters, and
educational performance.
