Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Oxcarbazepine Extended-Release (OXC XR)
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of anti-epileptic drugs' (AEDs) long-term treatment on cognitive function. This study is an open-label, randomized, multicenter comparative trial of lamotrigine versus carbamazepine. The planned enrollment is 100 patients.
Focal cortical dysplasia is one of the most common lesions responsible for medically refractory epilepsy in the pediatric population. In patients with medically intractable epilepsy, surgery is the only treatment that will lead to seizure freedom. The outcome of epilepsy surgery is worse in patients when there is no lesion identified on routine structural MRI, also known as MRI-negative partial epilepsy. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a novel MRI technique, can be used to evaluate the integrity of the microstructure of the white matter, even when the white matter appears normal on routine MRI.
This study will asses the safety and efficacy of BGG492 in reducing the seizure rate in therapy-refractory partial seizures.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Omega-3 fatty acids reduce seizures and modify cardiac risk factors in people with epilepsy.
Valproate is the first line therapy in primary generalized seizures. The applied drug contains sodium valproate in sustained release minitablets. As a multiple unit dosage form these can be easily swallowed and taken independent from meals. A simple dosage scheme like valproate sustained release minitablets once daily in the evening should improve the compliance and likely the seizure situation of the patients. The data of this non interventional trial were directly extracted from the physician's electronic patient database. The observational period was 7 weeks compared to a retrospective period 7 weeks before start of the study.
Study Design: (e.g., Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel): Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled of a bisphosphonate in the prevention of bone loss associated with the use of antiepileptic drugs.
This is an 18-week, double-blind, multicenter study with gradual conversion from previous antiepileptic therapy to eslicarbazepine acetate monotherapy in subjects with partial epilepsy.
This study will compare radiosurgery (focused radiation, Gamma Knife Radiosurgery) with temporal lobectomy (standard surgical care) as a treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. Patients who have seizures that begin in their temporal lobe that are not controlled with medications into the trial will be offered entry. Patients with a high likelihood of having their seizures controlled with open surgery will have treatment randomized between the standard surgery and radiosurgery. A prior study has shown that focused radiation (radiosurgery) may also reduce or eliminate seizures arising from the temporal lobe. The main study hypothesis is that radiosurgery is as safe and effective as temporal lobectomy in treating patients with seizures arising from the medial temporal lobe.
