NCT ID: NCT06278428 Recruiting - Child Development Clinical Trials

Genotype, Phenotype, and Disease Progression of Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy With Onset Before 2 Years of Age

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

According to estimates by the World Health Organization in 2019, more than 50 million people around the world have epilepsy. Nearly 80% of patients with epilepsy live in developing countries. Among them, children under 2 years old are the group with the highest incidence of epilepsy, and at the same time, the most dangerous epilepsy groups are also likely to start at these ages. World medical literature on epileptic encephalopathy and early-onset development before 2 years of age records that 71% of children have severe intellectual disability and 60% of children show signs of autism spectrum disorder, of which Children with epileptic and developmental encephalopathy due to genetic causes are at higher risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders than children with epileptic and developmental encephalopathy due to other causes. However, in Vietnam, there is no research on this topic. The question is what are the phenotypes, genotypes, and progression after 2 years of follow-up of Vietnamese children with epileptic and developmental encephalopathy with onset before 2 years of age?

NCT ID: NCT04759196 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Subdural Hematoma

Generating Evidence on NonEpileptic, Stereotypical and Intermittent Symptoms (NESIS) in Chronic Subdural Hematomas

GENESIS
Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Some patients with chronic subdural hematomas and transient neurological symptoms do not respond to standard antiepileptic drugs. The investigators think that some of them could have cortical depression rather than epileptic discharges. After an intensive literature review, the investigators found out that some antiepileptic dugs (Lamotrigine, Topiramate) were found to be efficient to treat cortical depression in other conditions (migraine, subarachnoid hemorrhage). In contrast, some other drugs (Levetiracetam) were not proved to be efficient. Knowing that, the investigators want to compare the efficacy of Topiramate against Levetiracetam in two different groups, the NESIS group (based on a NESIS score of 4 or more - increased risk of cortical depression) versus a non-NESIS group (score of 3 or less - increased risk of epileptic discharges).

NCT ID: NCT04569708 Recruiting - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Sleep Spindles and Memory in Rolandic Epilepsy

Start date: January 16, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators are recruiting children with Rolandic epilepsy and children without epilepsy (aged 4 years old and above) for a non-invasive brain imaging study using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography/Electroencephalography (MEG/EEG), and experimental tasks. The investigators hope to determine the brain circuits and brain rhythms affected in these children and ultimately identify new treatment options for childhood epilepsy patients.

NCT ID: NCT04221282 Recruiting - Aging Clinical Trials

ZEBinix® Retention Rate in Epilepsy in Elderly Patients

ZEBRE
Start date: April 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The incidence of provoked and unprovoked seizures is known to increase with advancing age. Eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) is one of the third generation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that have been developed in the last ten years with a favorable safety profile. ESL is approved in Europe and the USA as adjunctive or monotherapy in adults with partial-onset seizures. Nevertheless, retrospective data in monotherapy condition in the elderly epileptic population are sparse. The aim of the ZEBRE study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of ESL in elderly epileptic patients (> 65 years). The completion of this study will provide crucial information on the most appropriate ESL treatment for elderly patients suffering from partial seizures.
