Filter by:The investigators intend to test in a single center, clinical pilot efficacy study the primary hypothesis that Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) as add-on therapy to a controlled pharmacotherapy is efficacious in the treatment of refractory major depression assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD).
Status epilepticus (SE) is a common pediatric emergency which is potentially life-threatening and requires rapid termination. Early and effective treatment is essential to prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with prolonged convulsive SE. Lorazepam is the standard of care for control of SE when administered by intra-venous (IV) route. The investigators intend to compare efficacy and adverse effect profile of intra-nasal vs. intravenous routes of administration of lorazepam. In resource poor settings, sometimes trained personnel or appropriate equipment for intra-venous cannulation is not available. Alternate routes of administration, if shown equivalent to conventional IV route, will be very useful in such settings or for out of hospital management of seizures in children.
The landmark study Diabetes Control and Complication Trial (DCCT) clearly showed that intensive insulin management delays the onset and progression of longterm complications in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The same clinic trial also showed increased rate of severe hypoglycemia which required assistance. The risks of severe hypoglycemia, defined as loss of consciousness or seizure associated with hypoglycemia, include lower HbA1C, younger age, higher insulin dose, male sex, lower parental socioeconomic status, non-Hispanic white ethnicity, longer duration of disease, the presence of psychiatric disorders, and underinsurance. The purpose of this protocol is to explore the relationship between hypoglycemic seizures and BMI.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of perampanel when given as an adjunctive therapy in subjects with refractory partial seizures.

Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) are the main treatment for epilepsy; however, only a limited number of AEDs are approved for use as monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BRV in the conversion of partial onset seizure patients from combination treatment to monotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of RWJ-333369 at doses between 200-800 mg/day in Korean and Japanese patients who have completed the preceding study (333369-KJ-02).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adjunctive RWJ-333369 at a dose of 200 or 400 mg/day in comparison with placebo in Korean and Japanese partial epilepsy patients who have poor seizure control with one or two antiepileptics (AEDs).
