Filter by:The present study is planned to study effect of folic acid supplementation on homocysteine levels and CV risk factors such as BP and lipids in adolescent epileptics taking anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).
This study will assess long-term safety and tolerability of repeat dose diazepam nasal spray in adolescents and adults with cluster seizures, with a focus on potential local effects (changes in nasal mucosa, olfaction, and taste).
This is an open trial of intermittent fasting in a group of patients with refractory seizures. Patients will continue on the diet for 6 months to assess the impact of the diet on seizure frequency.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate that our semantic knowledge (elements of our long-term memory and the process we use them) respond to a graphic organisation and gather together following accurate patterns called cliques (neural networks).
Single-centre, open-label, randomized, two-sequence, two-way crossover study. The study consisted of two consecutive single-dose treatment periods separated by a washout period of 10 to 14 days or more.
Epilepsy is a common disease affecting 0.5 to 1% of the general population. Epilepsies refractory to drug treatment lead to increased morbidity, mortality and high costs for public health (representing 75% of the costs associated with epilepsy is among the most costly diseases in Neurology). The only curative therapy is surgical removal or disconnection of the epileptogenic network. To do this, a comprehensive presurgical evaluation is essential to accurately define the location of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) and its relationship with the functional areas that must be preserved. This approach requires in some cases intracerebral EEG recordings. This latter technique, expensive and invasive, remains at present, the standard method in the location of the ZE. In this context, the development of non-invasive and inexpensive methods is a priority in the field. Moreover, many fundamental studies have shown changes in ion homeostasis including sodium associated with hyperexcitability related to epilepsy. The investigators team at CEMEREM, CHU Timone, specialized in the development and validation of innovative methods in MRI, has developed an in vivo sodium MRI acquisition and processing of data unique in France, capable of quantifying the intracerebral sodium concentration in three dimensions in a completely non-invasive and non-irradiating manner
Single-centre, open-label, randomised, gender-balanced, 3-way crossover, 3-period, 3-sequence study in 18 healthy male and female subjects.
Multiple-dose, open-label, single-period study consisting of three consecutive phases
Part A: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of GWP42003-P compared with placebo with respect to: - Incidence, type and severity of adverse events (AEs) - Effect on vital signs, including weight - Effect on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) findings - Effect on laboratory parameters Part B: To make an assessment of the anti-epileptic efficacy of GWP42003-P compared with placebo with respect to the incidence in convulsive seizures - To determine the plasma concentration time curves for GWP42003-P and its major human metabolite, following escalating multiple doses of GWP42003-P. - To investigate the effect of GWP42003-P on the pharmacokinetics of concomitant anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). - To evaluate cognitive function, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness, in patients taking GWP42003-P in combination with AEDs.
Official statistics report around 1000 deaths due to epilepsy in the UK each year (Hanna et al 2002). Most of these deaths are un-witnessed and in many cases are believed to have been avoidable with timely assistance (Langan et al 2000). A major problem is detecting nocturnal seizures to allow body re-positioning, to maintain an open airway and to administer rescue medication. There are several seizure alarms commercially available but are often unreliable with many false alarms. The aim of this study is to investigate a novel seizure detection system with a unique algorithm.
