Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Padsevonil administered at individualized doses as adjunctive treatment for subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy.
The aim of our project is to develop an epileptic seizure detection algorithm based on the the continuous analysis of the Electrocardiogram
The proposed study seeks to obtain preliminary signal of the tolerability and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depressive symptoms in a sample of adolescents with depression and epilepsy. Additionally, effects of tDCS will be assessed via electroencephalographic, cognitive, and psychosocial measures.
Epilepsy is a major disease of the nervous system (WHO, 2015), as well as the second most common neural disease. It has been recorded that there have been 65 million epilepsy patients all over the world, more than 10 million in China, resulted in high morbidity, high mortality, heavy social and social psychological burden. Due to complex etiology, which genetic playing a large part for 70%-80%, easy to recurrent, as well as various seizure types, a great heterogeneity in clinical manifestation, epilepsy is difficult to treat in general, at least 33% patients. At present, It's still a big challenge in early warning, choice of treatment, efficacy and severe adverse reaction rate, prognosis assessment. Lack of precise diagnosis based genetic and molecular bio-markers for treatment are the main key points. Recently, clinical phenotype classifications of epilepsy have been refined, the exist researches had made a progress in gene mutation mechanism and targeted therapy, which pushed epilepsy being another disease could be precise treated after tumor. It's sure to provide a breakthrough for another neural diseases if epilepsy precise treatment project are successful.
There had been much evidence in aspirin controlling tumorous conditions conducted by basic researches, especially through mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. The investigator observed efficacy of aspirin in the treatment of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in one child who got Kawasaki disease and in the addition four TSC patients with epilepsy. The investigator intend to evaluate whether aspirin would be an effective add-on treatment in TSC patients with refractory seizures.
Effect of oral sodium bicarbonate therapy on renal tubular acidosis in epilepsy patients taking topiramate.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an investigational drug, IV ganaxolone, as adjunctive therapy to standard of care to treat subjects with status epilepticus.
Retrospective data analysis, all emergency medical services of the city of Zurich interventions due to epileptic convulsions during June 2013 and December 2014 have been analyzed regarding the type of drug used, its application mode and the application mode based success. Furthermore, children versus adults were compared. Continuous variables were summarized as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and also presented as median [minimum; maximum]. Groups were compared using the independent samples t-test. P-values < 0.05 are considered significant.
The Transition Navigator Trial (TNT) is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of usual care plus a patient navigator service versus usual care plus newsletters and other educational materials, to improve transition outcomes among adolescents aged 16-21 who have chronic health conditions requiring transfer to adult specialty care. The study will provide urgently needed data to guide health care providers and policy makers regarding the provision of coordinated transition care. These results have the potential to: 1. Change care delivery 2. Improve health outcomes 3. Improve the experiences of young adult transition to adult care
Patients with epilepsy exercise less than the general population. A barrier to exercise may be the effect of antiepileptic drugs on balance and reaction time. This proposal endeavors to study the effect of two common antiepileptic drugs (levetiracetam and lamotrigine) on balance and reaction time using a Wii balance board and reaction time test. This will be tested at descending doses in an epilepsy monitoring unit. Drug levels will be monitored, as well as center of pressure, and reaction time.
