Filter by:Convulsion is a common pediatric disorder and there is strong relation between convulsion and cardiovascular system which revealed by ECG monitoring and there are many ECG abnormalities attributed to different causes of convulsions, A 12-lead ECG is a low-cost test and can detect clinically significant abnormalities such as long QTc interval or heart block. Doing an ECG in all patients presenting with seizures clinic, inevitably, pick up non-specific abnormalities which require further investigation. Moreover, a normal 12-lead ECG does not exclude a cardiovascular cause for collapse and for those in whom a cardiac cause is still suspected despite a normal ECG, referral to a cardiologist is advisable
This will be a behavioural intervention with no investigational medicinal product. The intervention will be a mobile messaging service that sends short messaging service (SMS) as texts or graphics to people with epilepsy to remind them to take their medication and to refill their prescription and educational messages to share important messages tackling stigma and tips to improve quality of life. The investigators will also engage peripheral health facilities where people with epilepsy (PWE) participating in the study go for ASM refills, in collaboration with the respective county departments of health, to maintain adequate supply of anti-seizure medications through: i. ongoing capacity building studies in Kilifi such as the mental health Gap Action Programme-Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) training which is empowering primary healthcare providers at peripheral health facilities to identify and manage epilepsy and other mental health disorders. ii. supporting healthcare providers at peripheral facilities through in person visits, if the COVID-19 situation, permits or by telephone or standard message reminders to restock their ASM supply. The participants in the no-intervention group will receive "placebo" health messages not related to epilepsy such as use of bednets. The SMS reminders will be sent at a frequency that will be agreed upon during pre-study engagements with potential participants, whether daily, weekly, or monthly. The participants will be able to respond to these texts to report on their health status and any adverse events. To evaluate whether SMS reminders improve adherence, we will use: i. Self-reporting adherence scales- the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) ii. Measurement of ASM plasma levels at 12 months from baseline.
This research is being done to determine if Mozart music and/or age-appropriate music can reduce the frequency of seizures and epileptiform discharges.
The primary aim of Part A of the study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of GWP42003-P compared to placebo as an adjunctive treatment for children with Epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (EMAS) -associated seizures. Part B of this study will be conducted to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of GWP42003-P in participants with EMAS.
This study is a multi-center, real-word clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of perampanel as an add-on treatment for epileptic seizure, and to find the effective maintenance and maximum dose in Chinese children. The enrolled subjects were epilepsy patients between 2 and 12 years of age who had failed clinical treatment with 1-3 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) with the optimal dose and course of treatment and needed additional treatment. The study was a real-world prospective clinical study, and the initial and maximum doses of perampanel were individualized by neurologists according to the patient's clinical situation.
Prospective longitudinal observational registry study of all patients with epilepsy treated in the Mainz Comprehensive Epilepsy and Sleep Medicine Center with the focus on the course of the disease and quality of life.
This open-label, randomized multicenter trial aims at clarifying the standard of care of patients with non-convulsive status epilepticus not responding to treatment with benzodiazepines and at least one high-dose intra venous anti-seizure medication.
Children frequently present with altered or reduced consciousness levels to emergency departments. By using EEG monitoring, subclinical seizure activity may be detected, leading to earlier pharmacological intervention and improved outcomes. Post-ictal phases that may be interpreted as seizure activity may become less over-treated. A feasibility study will ascertain if EEG monitoring can be applied successfully in this cohort, within a specified time period, obtaining minimum artefact (defined as < 25% artefact). EEG recordings will not be used to guide clinical management during this feasibility study.
