Filter by:This case-crossover study evaluates the association between vaping and seizures in patients of a large academic medical center who admits to vaping and hav a planned ambulatory EEG ordered.
To evaluate whether there is a difference in subjective and objective fit of soft lenses with different sagittal height
Exploring the efficacy and safety of oral minocycline combined with antiepileptic drugs in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy in NORSE patients, obtaining preliminary research data, and providing evidence and data support for the next large-scale randomized controlled clinical study.
Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS4) to a default fitting strategy (FS4) for the speech recognition in noise. Secondary objectives: Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for speech recognition in quiet. Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for the auditory skills experienced by the subject.
Febrile seizures are considered a very common syndrome presented in the pediatric emergency room. Witnessing these seizures may can cause anxiety in parents and generate them psychological sequelae such as major depressive disorder in the short term, or sleep disorders in the long term. An appropriate care for parents must be put in place in the emergency department, with the objective of improving their knowledge of this pathology and its care, and thus to reduce their anxiety and prevent potential inappropriate or even deleterious behavior and maneuvers towards the child.
Concurrent electroencephalography (EEG) and new tripolar EEG (tEEG) will be recorded from adult and pediatric patients. In some patients stereo EEG (sEEG) will also be recorded concurrently.
Depression is a common clinical mental disease with high incidence rate, high recurrence rate, high suicide rate and high disability rate. As a first-line treatment for depression with refractory, high suicide risk and obvious psychotic symptoms, electric shock has a definite effect on depression, but may lead to cognitive impairment. The induction of extensive epileptiform discharges in the cerebral cortex by electric shock therapy is the key to ensure the treatment effect. The level of epileptiform discharges in the brain is mainly reflected in the quality of convulsions. The quality of electroconvulsive convulsions is affected by factors such as age, stimulation power, anesthetic drugs and depth of anesthesia. Most anesthetics have anticonvulsive properties, such as barbiturate or propofol, which may have a negative impact on the quality of convulsions, thus affecting the therapeutic effect. If the parameters of electric shock, such as stimulation dose, are modified, although the quality and treatment effect of convulsions can be improved, it may also lead to higher cognitive side effects. The depth of anesthesia also affects the quality and efficacy of electric shock convulsions, and the quality of convulsions is higher when stimulated at a shallow level of anesthesia. However, if the use of narcotic drugs is reduced to improve the quality of convulsions, the risk of restlessness and delirium after electric shock may be higher and the comfort of patients may be lower. Therefore, this study compared the effects of different anesthesia induction schemes on the quality and clinical efficacy of electroconvulsive seizures in patients with depression based on EEG monitoring, and explored the optimal depth of anesthesia.
Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy with synchronization between HA and CI (ABFS) to a tonotopy based fitting strategy without synchronization (ABFnoS) for the accuracy of sound localization. Secondary objectives: Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for the bias of sound localization. Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for speech perception in noise. Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for the auditory skills experienced by the subject.
This study aims to evaluate feasibility of a double-blind randomized controlled trial for levetiracetam prophylaxis for prevention of seizure in the perioperative phase of brain tumor resection.
In France, more than 110.000 patients are hospitalized for stroke per year. It is the leading cause of sudden disabilities in adults. Incidence of spastic foot is evaluated at 1 year post stroke from 18% to 56% of hemiplegic patients. Spasticity, defined as an increase in the velocity-dependent response to muscle stretch measured at rest, is part of the upper motor neuron syndrome and is characterized by an increase in tonic stretch reflex. It has been proposed that upper motor neuro syndrome may induce not only spasticity but also other types of muscles overactivity such as spastic dystonia, co-contraction and clonus. In hemiplegic patients, lower limb spasticity within the posterior part of the leg frequently results in equino-varus foot and toes claw. These abnormal postures in hemiplegics may affect activities of daily living such as shoes fitting, balance, ambulation-walking, comfort (pain) and may become irreducible (tendon shortening) if not treated. The purpose of this study is to compare the interest of each treatment (BoNT-A versus STN) in order to specify both techniques indications and up-date current guidelines of lower-limb spasticity for hemiplegic patients. This study aims to confirm a greater reduction of calf muscles spasticity after STN as compared to BoNT-A, as observed in the only published monocentric randomized controlled trial. Our study originality is to perform a multi-center RCT with a pre-established sample size. This study will also quantify progress towards personal goals using the goal attainment scaling (GAS) and will assess other components related to the consequences of carve muscle spasticity on balance, ambulation, self-care and quality of life.
