Clinical Trial Summary

Attentional disorders have been reported in neuropsychological studies evaluating patients suffering from generalized idiopathic epilepsy, but the data are disparate (in terms of test protocol). We aim to describe attentional and executive function disorder in IGE thanks to the Epitrack scale, validated in this specific population. Our secondary objective is to study the dynamic of cortical activity during an attentional task (the ANT), in order to describe the alteration of cortical networks in epileptic patients presenting with attentional disturbance.

Intervention

Other:
• Neuropsychological screening and high resolution EEG recording
Each participant will be assessed with a battery of neuropsychological tests including Epitrack, the Raven's progressive matrice, the MoCA, the D2-R test, the BDI-II test, the STAI and the Qolie-31. Then, a prolonged EEG recording at rest and during an attentional task (the ANT) will be realized

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Epitrack scale score	EPITrack-Score shows the performance of attention and executive functions. Higher values indicate a better performance. scale from 9-49 (9 worst score - 49 best score)	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	Raven's progressive matrice scores	cortical source connectivity patterns.	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score	Cognitive function was assessed by using MoCA score. Cognitive impairment was considered present when MoCA scores were <26 .	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	D2-R test score	cortical source connectivity patterns.	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	BDI-II score	Anxiety-depressive symptoms score Beck Depressive Inventory Questionnaire (BDI-II) (score), higher scores mean worse outcome, value minimum of 0 maximum 63	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	STAI scale	Anxiety-depressive symptoms score The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a self-questionnaire, 20 questions, a score is calculated, ranging from 20 to 80, a high score indicating the presence of anxiety.	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	quality of life using the Qolie-31 self questionnaire	Quality Of Life In Epilepsy-Problems questionnaire (QOLIE31-P) questionnaire has been developed specifically to measure the quality of life of patients with epilepsy. The score ranges from 0 to 100 points. Higher scores reflect better quality of life; lower ones, worse quality of life.	At 1 month after inclusion
Secondary	High resolution Electro Encephalo Gram functional connectivity markers at rest and during the ANT task	limited number of reproducible resting activity patterns, brain networks involved in the absence of task performance	At 1 month after inclusion
