Active clinical trials for "Epilepsy"

To compare the efficacy of pregabalin and gabapentin, as adjunctive therapy in subjects with partial seizures.

Post-traumatic seizures can appear frequently after a severe traumatic brain injury. Two types of seizures are usually identified: early seizures during the week following the trauma and late epilepsy afterward. Several antiepileptic drugs are usually used to prevent early seizures but no treatment has demonstrated any preventive effect against late epilepsy. Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug usually used for the treatment of epileptic patients and has pharmacologic properties that could also be interesting for the prevention of post-traumatic epilepsy.

This study will evaluate the amount of the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin available in the bloodstream, when taken together with the anti-seizure drugs lamotrigine or phenytoin.

This study will evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of pregabalin (Lyrica) when administered by itself (without any other anti-epileptic medication) to epilepsy patients for the treatment of partial seizures. This is an extension study to a previous clinical trial.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether thalidomide is effective in the refractory epilepsy treatment.

Zonisamide (Zonegran) and sodium valproate (Epilim) are both medicines approved to treat epilepsy. The purpose of this study is to find out the extent to which zonisamide may affect memory and concentration, compared to sodium valproate.

The purpose of this study is to allow eligible subjects from the parent study, SP925 [NCT00655551] to continue lacosamide and to obtain additional long-term safety data

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety of intravenous (iv) lacosamide delivered in a single dose followed by 6.5 days of oral lacosamide treatment in subjects with partial-onset seizures.

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SPM 927 when given as iv infusions compared with oral administration of the same dose strengths in subjects who were receiving oral SPM 927 for partial seizures with or without secondary generalization. Trial procedures will include medical history update, physical/ neurological exams, ECGs, blood /urine sample collections and seizure diary completion. Subjects completing the trial will return to the OLE trial to resume dosing with oral SPM 927.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zonisamide for anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs) treated subjects with refractory simple partial, complex partial or partial with secondary generalized seizures.
