Filter by:Epilepsy is frequently associated with cognitive and attentional disorders. Several studies have pointed out that there are modifications of brain activity in resting state during peri-ictal period in EEG and functional MRI. However, to date, no study has assessed the changes in attentional control after a seizure. The investigators hypothesize that a localized discharge is associated with a disorganization of the networks engaged in attentional control. In this regard, the investigators propose a prospective longitudinal study assessing the changes in attentional control after a focal seizure.
A randomized control trial of 50 patients to identify the effect of early prosthetic fitting and physical rehabilitation. Previous studies show a significant impact of early induction of prosthetic rehabilitation of amputation. Delayed rehabilitation may cause severe physical complications like joint contracture, and muscle strength loss.
Cenobamate (YKP3089) is a small molecule approved in the United States (US), Europe and several other countries around the world for the treatment of Partial-Onset (focal) seizures in adult subjects (≥18 years of age). In the US it is approved for use as monotherapy, however, there is little clinical data assessing its use as monotherapy in adults with POS. This study is designed to explore the effectiveness of doses of 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day as monotherapy in adult subjects with newly diagnosed or recurrent POS/focal onset epilepsy.
A total of 88 postictal children with generalized or focal seizures were included in the study. The ONSD and ONSD/ETD ratio was measured independently by a pediatric neurologist and pediatric emergency expert, three times in both eyes using non-contrasted computed tomography taken within one hour after the seizure. The characteristics of seizures (duration, etiology, initiated treatment, and frequency) were recorded. Non-traumatic patients with normal head computed tomography findings at the hospital admission were considered as the control group (n=109).
Standard anti-seizure medications have limited efficacy in seizure control in cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDD). The study will investigate whether targeting the gut-microbiota-brain axis in CDD patients can alleviate seizures and ameliorate other comorbidities.
The primary objective of this research is to study the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic baths as adjunctive therapy for reducing the frequency of seizures in CDKL5 deficiency.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the recurrence and development of epilepsy in children hospitalized with their first febrile seizures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the risk of recurrence after the first febrile seizure and what are the risk factors for recurrent febrile seizures in Vietnamese children? - What is the risk of developing epilepsy later in life and what are the risk factors for developing epilepsy in Vietnamese children who have had febrile seizures?
Levetiracetam is the commonly preferred anti-seizure medicine in patients with brain tumors. This drug has reduced the risk of seizure events occurring but is associated with a risk of side effects such as increased headache, drowsiness, loss of muscle coordination, and psychological challenges in patients. In patients undergoing appropriate treatment for brain tumors and controlled of seizures in the initial few months of levetiracetam, the chance of further seizures is relatively low. The optimal duration to give levetiracetam is not well defined for these patients, and currently as standard treatment levetiracetam is continued for 2-3 years. This study aims to answer this question by comparing patients on a short course of levetiracetam (experimental arm) versus a longer course of levetiracetam (standard arm), with the anticipation that a shorter duration of treatment will not lead to increased seizure episodes.
The CONSCIUS study is a prospective, interventional study including patients with acute brain injury and impaired consciousness implanted with intracranial electrodes. The aim of the study is to investigate seizures and thalamocortical neural dynamics underlying behavioral unresponsiveness.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BHV-7000 is effective in the treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures and includes an additional open-label extension (OLE) phase.
