Filter by:This research is being done to find out if the Atkins Diet can be used safely and effectively to reduce seizures in children who have Sturge Weber syndrome. The ketogenic diet is a proven therapy for epilepsy, but can be difficult to use in children. The Atkins Diet is a high fat, high protein, low carbohydrate diet introduced in the 1970s to help with weight loss. It is different from the ketogenic diet in four major ways: no calorie restriction, no fluid restriction, no protein restriction, and is easy to start outside the hospital. People on the Atkins Diet become ketotic (produce high levels of ketones, a certain substance in the body), like patients on the ketogenic diet, and the investigators believe this may lead to seizure control. Children aged 2-18 with Sturge Weber syndrome and seizures at least monthly, who have used at least two anti-seizure drugs may join. 5 children in total will be enrolled.
Patients in community-based practices correspond to the 25% of patients who need a first add-on drug when not controlled by their standard monotherapy drug. This was a therapeutic use trial in which the population corresponds more closely to that seen in daily clinical practice.
The purposes of the study were to obtain further information about the optimal dose and the efficacy of Keppra in daily clinical practice, and to confirm the favorable safety and tolerability profiles of the drug observed during clinical development.
The relationship between hormone cycling/fluctuations and the occurrence of seizures in women has received considerable discussion in the medical literature. This study investigated the efficacy and tolerability of LEV treatment for subjects with catamenial exacerbation of partial onset seizures.
A cohort of patients who became seizure-free during add-on treatment to one standard AED with Keppra in a previous trial (N01031) were followed to assess whether seizure freedom was maintained. Tolerability was documented.
This study will evaluate the amount of the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin available in the bloodstream, when taken together with the anti-seizure drugs lamotrigine or phenytoin.
The aim of the study is to establish tDCS as a prognostic tool to predict VNS therapy outcome among patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy.
The objective of this study was to assess bioequivalence of a potential generic 600 mb oxcarbazepine tablet formulation compared with Novartis Pharmaceutical's 600 mg oxcarbazepine tablet, Trileptal, following a single 600 mg dose, administered with food.
