Filter by:The goal of this project is the development of an EEG-cap (min. 21 electrodes) with user-friendly active dry electrodes that meets the expectations of the users regarding comfort and esthetics, without losing sight of the functional and technical demands for recording high quality EEG signals. The purpose is to use the EEG-cap to investigate clinical neurological disorders (e.g. epilepsy). The EEG-cap could also be used at home so that hospital admission in the EMU can be avoided for some patients and an increasing number of patients can be examined. Phase 3 of the Project will be divided into a Phase 3a and Phase 3b. Phase 3a of the project will comprise of an EEG-registration with the different types of electrodes in epilepsy patients with prominent interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) on EEG. For each epilepsy patient the EEG-recording with dry electrodes will be compared to the EEG-recordings with conventionally used wet electrodes (bridge and cup electrodes). Each EEG-recording will take approximately 10 minutes. Minimum 2 - maximum 10 epilepsy patients will be included. There will be an visual and clinical evaluation of the EEG-signals (blinded) and a technical evaluation of the EEG-signals. User experience will also be collected.
Assessment of long-term safety and efficacy of oral lacosamide (LCM) as an adjunctive therapy for uncontrolled primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTCS) in subjects >= 4 years of age with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). This study will enroll subjects from the LCM SP0982 [NCT02408523] study.
Evaluating efficacy & safety of lacosamide versus Placebo in a blinded fashion as add-on Therapy for Primary Generalized Tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures in subject 4 years of age or greater with idiopathic generalized epilepsy currently taking 1 to 3 antiepileptic drugs. Maximum duration of study drug administration is 28 weeks. Eligible subjects may choose to enter the open-label extension study after completion.
The prior BEEP study involved patients being switched between brand and generic in a very structured manner. Other secondary comparisons were also made (i.e. any differences in adverse effects and seizure control). Some subjects were more disparate than other, in terms of generic being similar to brand. In this follow up study, BEEP subjects that showed disparate results will be tested again to assess reproducibility of disparate results.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of the home-based cognitive self-management program "HOBSCOTCH" delivered at four New England medical centers. It will test the long-term impact and cost-effectiveness of HOBSCOTCH, and whether it can be delivered from a distance utilizing e-health tools for parts of the program.
Post-market, on-label, double-blind, randomized, prospective, interventional, tolerability and clinical outcomes study to determine the number of patients achieving their final assigned VNS Therapy dose settings in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who are being treated with adjunctive VNS Therapy using new titration protocols.
The primary aim of the current proposal is to evaluate safety and tolerability, in terms of neuropsychological effects of low frequency electrical stimulation of the fornix (LFSF) in participants with medically-intractable Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Secondary aims include evaluation of psychiatric changes, seizure frequency, and quality of life during LFSF.
Prospective study of an electromyography (EMG) based seizure detection and warning system for detecting generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of GWP42006 compared with placebo, in the presence of other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
To investigate the potential antiepileptic effects of GWP42006 as add-on therapy in subjects with inadequately controlled focal seizures.
