Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the efficacy of two less restrictive dietary therapies - LGIT and MAD, used for treatment of drug resistant epilepsy in children


Clinical Trial Description

Up to one third of patients with epilepsy progress to drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). Current treatment options for DRE include epileptic surgery and dietary therapy. Classic KD (Ketogenic diet) is the most studied dietary therapy but the stringent restrictions and practical difficulty makes it difficult to follow. So less restrictive diets like MAD and LGIT were introduced. These are reported to have less adverse effects also. But no published study has ever been conducted comparing these two diets head to head. ;
