NCT ID: NCT00894478 Completed - Partial Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Improving Lesion Detection in Children With Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-Negative Partial Epilepsy Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Start date: May 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

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.

NCT ID: NCT00552045 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project

EPGP
Start date: November 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to collect detailed information about the characteristics and genetics of a large number of individuals with epilepsy.
