Active clinical trials for "Seizures"

The purpose of this study is to determine weather different doses of Remegal are effective,safety and tolerant in Additional Therapy for Patients With Refractory Partial Seizures and pharmacokinetics definition

The primary objective of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of a 50 mg/kg loading dose of intravenous levetiracetam (LEV) in term and late preterm infants with seizures. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 50 mg/kg loading dose of levetiracetam in term and preterm infants with seizures, and to obtain data on steady state drug levels of levetiracetam in neonates.

This trial studies how well lacosamide works in preventing seizures in participants with malignant glioma. Anti-seizure drugs, such as lacosamide, may decrease abnormal electrical activity in the brain that plays a role in developing seizures.

To evaluate the safety of Levetiracetam IV 15-minute infusion administered every 12 hours as adjunctive treatment in subjects with Partial Onset Seizures after switching from the equivalent Levetiracetam oral dose.

This study investigates a new therapy for epilepsy called Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation (TNS). TNS involves external electrical stimulation of sensory nerve located above the eyes and over the forehead. The purpose of this study is to determine if TNS is safe and effective using a rigorous randomized active-control clinical trial design in 50 people with epilepsy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of zonisamide used as an adjunctive treatment in pediatric subjects treated with 1 or 2 other anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of pregabalin on sleep problems in patients with seizures.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a common pediatric emergency which is potentially life-threatening and requires rapid termination. Early and effective treatment is essential to prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with prolonged convulsive SE. Lorazepam is the standard of care for control of SE when administered by intra-venous (IV) route. The investigators intend to compare efficacy and adverse effect profile of intra-nasal vs. intravenous routes of administration of lorazepam. In resource poor settings, sometimes trained personnel or appropriate equipment for intra-venous cannulation is not available. Alternate routes of administration, if shown equivalent to conventional IV route, will be very useful in such settings or for out of hospital management of seizures in children.

The investigators intend to test in a single center, clinical pilot efficacy study the primary hypothesis that Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) as add-on therapy to a controlled pharmacotherapy is efficacious in the treatment of refractory major depression assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD).
