Active clinical trials for "Seizures"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) versus an Active Comparator chosen based on standard of care (StOC) in severe and nonsevere seizure burden (defined as total minutes of electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS) per hour) in neonates with seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous anti-epileptic drug (AED) treatment.

Effect of GABA on ADHD and seizures in Children with epilepsy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of up to 3 dose levels of adjunctive JNJ-40411813 compared to placebo based on the time to baseline monthly seizure count in participants with focal onset seizures who are receiving levetiracetam or brivaracetam and up to 3 other anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) (double-blind treatment period) and to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of adjunctive therapy with JNJ-40411813 in participants with epilepsy (open-label extension [OLE] period).

This is a multiple site, randomized, double blinded parallel-group controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of repeated, daily sessions with the STARSTIM device, which delivers transcranial cathodal direct current stimulation (tDCS). Subjects will be treated with STARTSTIM or sham device for 10 sessions over a 2-week period. The subjects will be followed for an additional 10 weeks post treatment. Quality of Life questionnaires and adverse events will be collected and evaluated.

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used to treat people with severe depression. During ECT, the brain is given electric pulses that cause a seizure. Although it is effective, it can cause side effects, including memory loss. Researchers want to study a new way to give ECT called iLAST. Objective: To see if iLAST is safe and feasible in treating depression. Eligibility: People ages 22 70 years old who have major depressive disorder and are eligible for ECT Design: Participants will be screened under protocol 01-M-0254. This includes: Medical and psychiatric history and exam Blood and urine tests Participants will be inpatients at the Clinical Center. They study has 3 phases and will last up to 20 weeks. Phase I will last 1 week. It includes: MRI: Participants will lie in a scanner that takes pictures of the body MEG: A cone over the participant s head will record brain activity. TMS: A wire coil placed on the participant s scalp will produce an electrical current to affect brain activity. SEP: An electrode on the participant s wrist will give a small electrical shock to test nerve function. Phase II will last 2 and a half weeks. It includes: Seven sessions of iLAST under general anesthesia. Participants may also get standard ECT. EEG: A small electrode placed on the participant s scalp will record brain waves. Interviews about mood, symptoms, and side effects. Participants facial expressions may be video recorded. TMS Phase III will last at least 1 week. It will include: MRI EEG TMS MEG Standard ECT if needed. Participants will have sessions every other day, 3 times a week. Sponsoring Institution: National Institute of Mental Health ...

This will be a multistate, multicenter clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for a wide variety of chronic medical conditions.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of perampanel monotherapy measured by the seizure-free rate during the Maintenance Period (24 weeks) of the Treatment Phase in untreated participants with focal onset seizures (FOS) with or without focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS).

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy in seizure reduction when comparing orodispersable clonazepam versus usual treatment (i.e. medication load, intravenous high- dose benzodiazepines) of seizure clusters in a third level center of care in Mexico city.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of XEN1101 administered as adjunctive treatment in primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTCS).

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of carisbamate (YKP509) as adjunctive treatment in reducing the number of drop seizures (tonic, atonic, and tonic-clonic) compared with placebo in pediatric and adult subjects (age 4-55 years) diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
