A Pilot Study of the Low Glycaemic Index Diet in Adults With Epilepsy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Many persons with epilepsy have seizures which remain uncontrolled by anti-epilepsy medications and are unsuitable for or unwilling to undergo surgical treatments for their epilepsy, or have undergone such treatments and continue to have seizures. Dietary treatments for epilepsy have been shown to be effective in children, and are probably effective in adults, but compliance with the classic ketogenic diet (KD) and to some degree also the modified Atkins diet (MAD) seems difficult for many adults. The LGI diet may be easier and in children appears to be of comparable efficacy to other dietary treatments (KD and MAD), but has been little studied in adults. This is a randomised study of immediate versus deferred LGI diet in adults with seizures incompletely controlled by anti-epilepsy medications. 12 weeks of dietary treatment in those randomised to LGI will be followed by the opportunity for the control group to undertake 12 weeks of the LGI diet.
