Filter by:This is a Non-interventional Prospective Study. Centres will enroll adult patients with partial onset seizures for whom the clinician has decided to initiate ZNS as an adjunctive therapy prior to the decision to take part in this study. Patients to be enrolled into the study are not sufficiently controlled with one dug licensed for the use of monotherapy in partial onset seizures. Patients will be seen at baseline and then during normal clinical visits at intervals which are appropriate to the typical practice of the treating clinician. Patients will be assessed at baseline and then at least 3 and 6 months after the baseline.
This was a Non-interventional Prospective Study. Centres enrolled adult patients with partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation for whom the clinician had decided to initiate Eslicarbazepine Acetate (ESL) as an adjunctive therapy prior to the decision to take part in this study. Patients enrolled into the study were not sufficiently controlled with one drug licensed for the use as monotherapy in partial-onset seizures. Patients were seen at baseline and then during normal clinical visits at intervals. Patients in this study were assessed for efficacy and tolerability at baseline and then at least 3 and 6 months after the baseline.
After a thorough review of the existing literature as well as a review of our own practice, the investigators have concluded that the decision to treat patients undergoing aneurysm repair with levetiracetam has reached true clinical equipoise. In other words, the investigators cannot favor a decision to either administer or not administer this drug in these patients based on the existing information. The utility of anti-epileptic prophlaxis in the perioperative period for patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm repair remains a common practice that is not supported by the current literature that includes retrospective analyses as well as prospective trials for similar but not identical types of patients. The investigators propose to settle this dilemma by performing a prospective randomized trial in patients undergoing aneurysm repair in order to definitively determine if the common practice of perioperative antiepileptic drug administration has any utility. The study will be extended to June 2024 to allow for a 5 year follow up of the last enrolled patient in June, 2019.
This research is being done to observe the safety, tolerability, side effects, and effectiveness of the ketogenic diet in people with continuous seizures (status epilepticus) being treated in a neurointensive care unit.
This is a multicentre, long-term, open-label extension (OLE) study to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of retigabine immediate-release (IR) as adjunctive therapy in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS).
We study the hypothesis that combination of Proteine S100 beta and Copeptin within normal ranges can rule out seizure recurrences and severe outcome, and allow early discharge from the emergency department
The purpose of this study is to determine weather Remegal in fixed dosage 1500 mg/daily is effictive and safe in patients with epilepsy with partial seizures
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of two doses of pregabalin as add-on treatment in pediatric and adult subjects with Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) seizures as compared to placebo. It is hypothesized that both doses of pregabalin will demonstrated superior efficacy when compared to placebo by reducing PGTC seizure frequency and that pregabalin will be safe and well tolerated.
A multicenter observational pilot study will be conducted to determine the natural history of infants with early diagnosis (≤ 6 hrs of age) of mild neonatal encephalopathy (NE) who are not qualified for therapeutic hypothermia. The intervention includes: neurologic examination by using modified Sarnat score at ≤ 6 hrs of age, 24 hrs and before discharge home, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) at 6 ± 3 hrs of age, brain MRI at before discharge home to 30 days of age and follow-up at 18-22 months of age. Primary outcome is the percentage of mild NE infants with evidence of brain injury defined by the presence of at least 1 abnormality of brain MRI, aEEG or neurologic examination in the neonatal period. Secondary outcome is the percentage of brain MRI, aEEG and neurological exam abnormalities, seizure, length of hospital stay, need of gavage feeds or gastrostomy at discharge home, death and long-term outcome.
The purpose of this study is 1. to estimate the incidence of seizure in the general population and stratified by epilepsy status 2. To estimate the relative risk of seizure associated with use of proton pump inhibitors and histamine 2 receptor antagonist and stratified by epilepsy status
