Filter by:The purpose of this study is to describe the effectiveness of the adjunctive ASM treatment on the clinical response, safety profile and quality of life of patients affected by focal onset seizures in a real-world setting.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about epilepsy after a stroke (post-stroke epilepsy). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What make some patients develop epilepsy after a stroke? - Does sleep have an impact on the development of post-stroke epilepsy? Participants will undergo: - Electroencephalography (EEG) - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - Polysomnography (only patients) Blood tests will also be taken. The patient group will be compared to the healthy controls. Researchers will also look into medical records of stroke patients hospitalized at St. Olavs hospital and collect relevant information.
The BLESS Study contributes to filling this information gap by collecting data from the Italian clinical practice and the Compassionate Use Program, to better characterize the clinical profile of cenobamate describing its effectiveness, safety and tolerability in adult patients diagnosed with uncontrolled focal epilepsy despite the use of at least two antiepileptic medicinal products.
RESTORE is a randomized clinical trial investigating the safety and feasibility of using EEG treatment targets (burst suppression vs. seizure suppression) for post-cardiac arrest refractory status epilepticus treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a future fully powered multi-site efficacy Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) comparing two treatments for pediatric functional seizures (FS). In this study, 11-18-year-olds diagnosed with FS will be randomized to 12 sessions of Retraining and Control Therapy (ReACT) or Competent Adulthood Transition with Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic, and Interpersonal Training (CATCH-IT) at 3 sites: University of Alabama at Birmingham, Yale School of Medicine/Yale New Haven Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children's Hospital. Feasibility of recruitment will be measured by the percentage of planned participant enrollment target obtained at each site and overall during the 18 months of planned enrollment. Acceptability will be assessed using the Acceptability Questionnaire. Participant retention will be measured by the percent of enrolled participants that complete the 2-month follow-up visit at each site and overall. For treatment fidelity assessment, 20% of each therapist's sessions will be randomly chosen and assessed for fidelity. Patient adherence will be measured in two ways: 1) the percent of ReACT or CATCH-IT sessions completed at each site and overall and 2) for ReACT, the percent of times participants report using the treatment plan during FS episodes (measured by FS diary) and for CATCH-IT, the number of times parents and children spend using CATCH-IT each week (measured by the CATCH-IT platform). These data will be used to support a future fully-powered multi-site RCT assessing the efficacy of ReACT for pediatric FS.
This is a multi-center, non-interventional and prospective study of patients receiving Epidyolex as part of standard clinical practice in France. The study will state an overview of patient characteristics and clinical history (including age, sex, diagnosis, duration of epilepsy, predominant seizure type, previous medications, current co-medications and Epidyolex dose), and an evaluation of retention rates, safety profile, seizure activity, changes in executive function and quality of life measured in a 2-year follow-up period.
The goal of this belief updating study is to assess the utility of BioEP as a complementary support tool in aiding clinical decision making in adults in first seizure clinics. The main outcomes we shall measure are: - Clinicians' perception of seizure probability. - Clinicians' decision to recommend commencing or deferring ASM (anti-seizure medications) - Clinicians' decision to refer for additional investigations/services. Participants will consent to have their EEG (that is taken at their routine care) to be used in the study. There is not extra burden to the participants taking part in the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the mechanisms of oxygen toxicity in scuba divers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the training of respiratory muscles affect oxygen toxicity? - How do environmental factors, such as sleep deprivation, the ingestion of commonly utilized medications, and chronic exposure to carbon dioxide, impact the risk of oxygen toxicity? - How does immersion in water affect the development of oxygen toxicity? Participants will be asked to do the following: - Undergo a basic screening exam composed of health history, vital signs, and some respiratory function tests - Train their respiratory muscles at regular intervals - Exercise on a cycle ergometer both in dry conditions and underwater/under pressure in the context of medication, sleep deprivation, or carbon dioxide exposure Researchers will compare the performance of each subject before and after the possible interventions described above to see if there are changes in exercise performance, respiratory function, cerebral blood flow, and levels of gene expression.
Brief Summary: Main objective: Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS) with fine structure coding to a tonotopy based fitting strategy without fine structure coding (TnoFS) for speech perception in noise. Secondary objectives: Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for the perception of musical elements (contour test). Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for speech perception in quiet Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for the qualitative preference for the listening of musical pieces. Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for the melodic recognition
Background: Most people who get COVID-19 seem to recover with no long-term effects. However, some people who recover from acute COVID-19 infections report lingering symptoms. This is called long COVID. Many people with long COVID report symptoms related to the nervous system; these can include problems with fatigue, speech, and memory. Objective: To test motor memory in people with long COVID, compared to healthy volunteers. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 90 years who are also enrolled in study protocol 000089. Healthy adults are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened by telephone. They will confirm they are able to type without discomfort using their nondominant hand. They will confirm they have access to a computer connected to the internet. All study tasks will be done online. Participants will complete 2 tasks in 2 days. Participants will be sent a link to a website. The website will give them instructions. They will place the fingers of their nondominant hand over 4 numbers on the keyboard and type a sequence (eg, 4-1-3-2-4). They will type this sequence as often as they can in 10 seconds. Then they will rest for 10 seconds before repeating the task. They will repeat this pattern for 15 minutes. After they finish the typing task, participants will take a 10-minute questionnaire. They will answer questions about their experiences with COVID-19 and memory issues; they will say which hand they use for tasks such as brushing their teeth or throwing a ball. Participants will get a notice to repeat the typing task 22 hours after they finish the first one. They should complete the second task within 28 hours....
