Clinical Trial Summary

Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare and serious disease that is in need of effective, and hopefully even curative, therapies. Afflicted patients suffer from severe paralyzing crises, often excruciatingly painful muscle spasms, severe often life threatening epileptic seizures, and frequently severe developmental and psychiatric/psychological disabilities. Based on the repeated input from family organizations and from professionals, as expressed at the London 2016 ATP1A3 in Disease meeting, there are urgent clinical research needs for AHC that are essential to better understand the disease, evaluate its treatment options and plan for future controlled clinical trials. The goal of the study is to evaluate different parameters involved in the evolution of the AHC. The investigating team's hypothesis is that the evolution is variable so it aims to evaluate the factors which could contribute to the progression of the disease.
