NCT ID: NCT00181090 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Use of the Atkins Diet for Children With Intractable Epilepsy: A Comparison of Daily Carbohydrate Limits

Start date: February 2005
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to further investigate the use of a modified Atkins diet for children with intractable, daily seizures. It is a follow-up to a study recently completed by our institution. In this 6-month study, children will be randomized to either 10 or 20 grams of carbohydrate per day, then crossed over to the opposite amount at 3 months.

NCT ID: NCT00179517 Completed - Clinical trials for Erectile Dysfunction

Treatment of Sexual Dysfunction in Hypogonadal Men With Epilepsy With Testosterone and Either Anastrozole or Placebo

Start date: June 2001
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment using a medication (anastrozole/Arimidex), which lowers estrogen levels in the blood is better than placebo, a tablet that does not contain any active medication, when combined with testosterone replacement to treat reproductive and sexual dysfunction in men with epilepsy. Anastrozole, the medication that is currently under study, does not, at this time, have FDA approval for use for this indication.

NCT ID: NCT00179452 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Yoga for Patients With Epilepsy

Start date: October 2003
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To establish the safety and feasibility of having patients with epilepsy perform yoga.

NCT ID: NCT00179426 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Effect of Antiseizure Medication on Hormone Levels and Sexual Function in Men With Epilepsy

Start date: October 1999
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine if antiseizure drugs affect hormone levels and sexual function in men with seizures.

NCT ID: NCT00175929 Completed - Epilepsy, Focal Clinical Trials

A Study of Brivaracetam in Subjects With Partial Onset Seizures

Start date: May 2005
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of brivaracetam (at doses of 50 and 150 mg/day in twice a day administration) as add on therapy in subjects with focal epilepsy

NCT ID: NCT00175916 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Follow-up Trial to Evaluate Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Brivaracetam in Subjects Suffering From Epilepsy

Start date: September 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This trial, evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of brivaracetam, will give subjects suffering from epilepsy, who may have benefited from brivaracetam, the opportunity to continue the treatment. The study will also evaluate the maintenance of efficacy over time of brivaracetam for subjects with partial onset seizures (POS)/primary generalized seizures (PGS).

NCT ID: NCT00175903 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Levetiracetam Versus Standard Antiepileptic Drugs (Carbamazepine and Valproate) Used as Monotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Epilepsy

Start date: February 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Study N01175 was to compare overall effectiveness (efficacy and safety) of levetiracetam (LEV) versus the 2 older antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), sodium valproate extended release (VPA-ER) and carbamazepine controlled release (CBZ-CR) in the treatment of subjects with newly diagnosed epilepsy.

NCT ID: NCT00175825 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

A Dose-ranging Study With Brivaracetam in Patients From 16 to 65 Years With Refractory Partial Onset Seizures.

Start date: November 7, 2005
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of brivaracetam (at doses of 5, 20 and 50 mg/day in twice a day administration) as add-on therapy in subjects with focal epilepsy.

NCT ID: NCT00162981 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Clobazam in Subjects With Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome

Start date: October 2005
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of seizures which lead to drop attacks (drop seizures) in subjects 2 to 30 years of age with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Subjects will be enrolled at approximately 10 investigational sites in the U.S. for up to 15 weeks. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either a low dose or a high dose. The study will include a baseline period, a titration period and a maintenance period. After the maintenance period, subjects will either continue into an open-label extension study or enter the taper period with a final visit 1 week after the last dose.

NCT ID: NCT00160654 Completed - Epilepsy, Partial Clinical Trials

Open Label Safety and Efficacy Study of Levetiracetam in Patients With Epilepsy

Start date: November 24, 2003
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Community based study assessing safety and efficacy of levetiracetam in partial onset seizures. The optimal dose in daily clinical practice will be used.
