Filter by:The purpose of this study is to systematically and prospectively collect data from patients with partial-onset seizures in routine clinical practice setting receiving adjunctive Vimpat®. The observed population will be only patients with one baseline antiepileptic drug. Seizure control and tolerability data will be evaluated.
Despite the importance of birth control to women of reproductive age, there has been little formal investigation of the safety and effectiveness of birth control methods in women with epilepsy. To remedy this, doctors from Harvard and Columbia University Medical Schools have developed a website that offers a survey to help us gain more knowledge and some educational material that will be updated regularly to provide the latest information. The ultimate goal is to develop guidelines for the selection of safe and effective birth control methods and to make sure that the best forms of birth control become available to women with epilepsy in all communities of our society. Go to www.epilepsybirthcontrolregistry.com take our survey and then catch up on the latest information about birth control for women with epilepsy.
This is an 18-week, double-blind, multicenter study with gradual conversion from previous antiepileptic therapy to eslicarbazepine acetate monotherapy in subjects with partial epilepsy.
Multicenter prospective study comparing the diagnosis value of high-resolution EEG and depth-EEG to localize the epileptogenic zone in drug resistant partial epilepsies.
The aim of the observational study is to investigate the safety of oxcarbazepine extended release (ER) during long-term therapy in epileptic patients. In addition, quality of life parameters should be documented if assessed.
This will be a cross-sectional study enrolling 200 outpatients/inpatients with treatment resistant partial epilepsy for at least two years, receiving 1-3 AEDS. The study will consist of one or two visits, each lasting 1-2 hours. All subjects will complete Visit 1. Twenty five percent of the subjects will return for Visit 2. The study will assess the prevalence of depression and suicidal thoughts and the feasibility of using the proposed psychiatric rating scales in future epilepsy clinical trials. This study will also provide an estimate of the proportion of patients with epilepsy (PWE) who may be ineligible for future trials.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and steady-state pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) Carbamazepine (CBZ) infusions relative to orally administered CBZ in adult patients with epilepsy.
The goal of this study is to learn if the study drug RAD001 can reduced the number of epileptic seizures, and can be taken safety by people who have epilepsy associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are not indicated for use in pregnancy. However, women with epilepsy, and other approved indications including bipolar disorder, may require or be unintentionally exposed to AEDs during pregnancy. Prior to an AED being marketed there are few data available on drug safety in pregnancy: data from animal models may not translate directly to humans and pregnant women are routinely excluded from clinical trials. The International Lamotrigine Pregnancy Registry was established by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 1992 to monitor the safety of lamotrigine during pregnancy.
Objective of the First Period: To evaluate the efficacy of Levetiracetam dry syrup at doses up to a maximum of 60 mg/kg/day or 3000 mg/day used as an adjunctive therapy in Japanese pediatric patients (4 to 16 years) with uncontrolled partial seizures despite treatment with 1 or 2 anti-epileptic drug(s).
