Filter by:This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of perampanel on Primary Generalized Tonic Clonic (PGTC) seizure frequency in adolescents and adults maintained on one to two stable antiepileptic drugs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether levetiracetam as adjunctive therapy is effective in the treatment of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalization, associated with refractory focal epilepsy.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of USL261 for the outpatient treatment of seizure clusters.
Study A0081041 is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two dose levels of pregabalin administered in equally divided daily doses, in either capsule or oral liquid formulation, as adjunctive therapy in pediatric subjects 4 to 16 years of age with partial onset seizures.
The aim of this clinical trail is to evaluate the efficacy of a Carbogen inhalation in patients with febrile seizures compared to a placebo-inhalation. Further aims are the evaluation of the safety of the Carbogen inhalation via a low-pressure can with a breathing mask in a home-setting, the manageability of the Carbogen inhalation via a low pressure can with a breathing mask in a home-setting or on the way (mobility), the quality of life of the parents and children using the low pressure can with a breathing mask in a home-setting or on the way (mobility) and the contentment and anxiety of the parents.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of non-invasive cortical activation by specific patterned auditory stimulation (Mozart K448- Piano Sonata for Two Hands in D Major), in altering or eliminating photoparoxysmal abnormalities. Recent work has indicated that such evoked activity (i.e. by specific music) can result in significant reductions, or even complete termination of epileptiform activity and/or seizures across a broad range of individuals with epilepsy. A hypothesis is generated that specific music activation would beneficially effect photoparoxysmal based epileptiform abnormalities.
The project strives to discover novel genetic defects that cause monogenic epilepsy or that genetically modify a preexisting epileptic phenotype. Our main aim is to find genetic causes for the idiopathic West Syndrome (infantile seizures) that are not caused by known cerebral malformation, lissencephaly or metabolic disorders and which have a comparatively benign prognosis. The investigators hypothesize that mutations in genes coding for ion channels or genes that modify the action of ion channels might be causative. For that the investigators will perform a sequence analysis of the coding exons of a large set of genes in all recruited patients and verify found mutations in their parents.
The aim of the proposed research is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a portable wireless electroencephalography (EEG) device (Biosignal Micro-EEG) to standard EEG in identifying abnormal EEG patterns (mainly non-convulsive seizure and non-convulsive status epilepticus) in emergency department (ED) patients with altered mental status. Comparing the the accuracy of EEG recordings and interpretations of Micro-EEG to those of standard EEG will allow the investigators to assess the utility of this novel device in the ED patients with altered mental status. The unique qualities of Micro-EEG device could potentially facilitate easier access to EEG test in all ED patients. This study will also provide valid information regarding the prevalence of non-convulsive seizure in ED patients with altered mental status.The gold standard for diagnosing non-convulsive seizure would be standard EEG. All study participants will undergo electroencephalography using the two devices (standard EEG and micro-EEG) and a combination of standard electrodes and Electro-Cap in a randomized order: 1. Standard EEG with standard EEG electrodes, 2. Micro-EEG with standard EEG electrodes, and 3. Micro-EEG with Electro-Cap electrodes.
The purpose of this proposed research is to identify individuals in southeastern Arizona aged 65 years and older who have new onset seizures (or newly diagnosed epilepsy) and monitor them for at least two years. In doing so the investigators will be able to describe the public health burden of this condition and to identify factors that predict clinical outcomes and health care needs in this population, using quantitative, administrative, and qualitative data. The aims of this proposed research are 1) to determine the two-year incidence of newly diagnosed epilepsy in the target population, 2) describe health care resource utilization of the target population using Medicare data, 3) validate the use of Medicare beneficiary data to estimate incidence of epilepsy, and 4) describe the burden of this condition in different ethnic groups.
The investigators determined whether 1. new short, metaphyseal-fitting cementless anatomical femoral stem provides major functional improvements 2. radiographically secure implant fixation is achieved with this new stem 3. the bone content is preserved at the baseline level or above at the final follow-up 4. these procedures are associated with early failure and complications.
