Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of brivaracetam (BRV) administered intravenously (iv) in subjects >= 1 month to < 16 years of age with epilepsy.
Follow up of the patients at Ghent University Hospital treated with hippocampal DBS for refractory epilepsy. Endpoints: - Long term evaluation of the effects of hippocampal DBS on seizure frequency and cognition - Evaluation of the satisfaction of patients and neurologist regarding the rechargeable DBS battery
This study evaluates the effect of probiotic supplementation in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. All the patients received the probiotic.
The investigators are collecting genetic information through blood samples as well as clinical and EEG data from over 1000 people with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) across the UK, Europe and North America. This study will draw on both existing and new samples from JME patients. These will be compared to anonymised data from samples for 2000 controls. The goal of this study is to find the genetic cause of JME. Finding the cause will help create better treatments for JME, as well as improve patient outcomes by allowing us to detect it earlier.
This preliminary pilot exploration aims at specifying the pharmacokinetic parameters of sulthiame, formulated as an immediate release tablet, thus helping to design proper clinical trials for the future assessment of new paediatric formulations currently under development. The clinical tolerability to single doses of sulthiame will also be closely monitored to orient future trials.
The proposed study is designed to evaluate the performance of the Neuronaute in comparison with the gold standard EEG in patients with a regular appointment at the hospital. The design of this study is guided by two overriding factors : (i) epileptics disorders suspected or either (ii) epileptics already diagnosed. Volunteers will be asked to participate to this study. This study will enroll 35 outpatient subjects aged 18 to 85. Informed consent will be obtained from the patients, and assent from the subjects, prior to any form of assessment or intervention as part of the study. Patients will be submitted to the studied device record Neuronaute following by the gold standard EEG. A grid with all EEG activity recorded during the trial will be provided for evaluation after completion of the trial.
Seizure-related cardiac arrhythmias are one of the possible causes of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Identification of these patients is challenging because cardiac rhythm disturbances could emerge only during seizures. Furthermore, patients could have transitioned sinus or AV node blocks which could cause syncopes with brady-related seizures which could be treated as epilepsy-related seizures. Implantable loop recorders have an ability to recording single-channel ECG for up to 36 months which give an ability to detect these heart disturbances. The purpose of this study is to look the incidence and types of arrhythmias which occur in 150 patients with hard-to-treat partial seizures and secondarily generalized seizures
The purpose of the study is to characterize the dose-response relationship with respect to efficacy of Padsevonil administered concomitantly with up to 3 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for treatment of observable focal-onset seizures in subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy.
This study is an open label, adjunctive, proof of concept, pilot clinical trial. Pediatric patients with epilepsy and clinically significant anxiety will be recruited and if enrolled will receive active treatment, involving flexible dose titration of clobazam and will be monitored for a period of four months. The study will be monitored and overseen by the Johns Hopkins Hospital Institutional Review Board.
The study investigates the association between normalization of serum sodium levels and bone markers in patients with epilepsy and chronic hyponatremia. The study is a randomized, single blinded, placebo controlled study where participants will be randomized to either treatment with salt tablets or placebo tablets through 4 months. At the beginning and end of the 4 months bone markers will be measured. The investigators null-hypothesis is that there will be no difference in bone markers before or after the intervention.
