Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Levetiracetam in Patients Suffering From Idiopathic...

Generalized Convulsive Epilepsy

This study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of adjunctive treatment with LEV (3,000 mg/day or a target dose of 60 mg/kg/day in children) compared to placebo in reducing PGTC seizures in subjects (4 - 65 years) suffering from idiopathic generalized epilepsy uncontrolled despite treatment with one or two concomitant AEDs.

Monotherapy With Levetiracetam in Newly Diagnosed Patients Suffering From Epilepsy

Generalized Epilepsy

A double-blind trial comparing the efficacy and safety of levetiracetam to carbamazepine used as monotherapy in subjects (≥ 16 years) newly or recently diagnosed as suffering from epilepsy, and experiencing partial or generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

Embrace and Quality of Life

EpilepsyTonic-Clonic

A prospective, open, randomized, pilot clinical trial which aims the assessment of quality of life (QOL) in epilepsy outpatients equipped with a wrist-worn biosensor that provides measures of electrodermal activity and accelerometry. These measures are used to automatically detect epileptic seizures that are transmitted to a mobile phone-based system for alerts and recording.

A Study to Investigate Dosage, Effectiveness, and Safety of Perampanel When Used as First Add-on...

Idiopathic Generalized EpilepsyPartial Onset Seizures1 more

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the retention rate of perampanel as a reliable proxy for overall effectiveness and tolerability in participants aged at least 12 years who are prescribed perampanel (for partial onset seizures [POS] with or without secondary generalization [SG] or for primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures [PGTCS] associated with idiopathic generalized epilepsy [IGE] as first adjunctive to antiepileptic drug (AED) monotherapy as part of their routine clinical care.

Topiramate Bioequivalence Study Brazil - Fast

EpilepsyTonic-Clonic

This study is prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose, with 02 treatments, 02 sequences and 02 periods. The volunteers received, in each period, the reference or the test formulation, according to the randomization list, under fasting conditions, in order to evaluate if the reference and test formulations are bioequivalent.

Detecting Absence Seizures Using Eye Tracking

EpilepsyGeneralized4 more

The goal of this study is to develop a comfortable system that uses a wearable eye-tracker similar to eyeglasses to assist people with epilepsy in counting and measuring the severity of seizures. Participants will wear an eye-tracker during a routine EEG.

Metabolic Abnormalities in Children With Epilepsy

Generalized EpilepsyInfantile Spasms3 more

This study is designed to use positron emission tomography to measure brain energy use. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a technique used to investigate the functional activity of the brain. The PET technique allows doctors to study the normal processes of the brain (central nervous system) of normal individuals and patients with neurologic illnesses without physical / structural damage to the brain. When a region of the brain is active, it uses more fuel in the form of oxygen and sugar (glucose). As the brain uses more fuel it produces more waste products, carbon dioxide and water. Blood carries fuel to the brain and waste products away from the brain. As brain activity increases blood flow to and from the area of activity increases also. Researchers can label a sugar with a small radioactive molecule called FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose). As areas of the brain use more sugar the PET scan will detect the FDG and show the areas of the brain that are active. By using this technique researchers hope to answer the following questions; 4. Are changes in brain energy use (metabolism) present early in the course of epilepsy 5. Do changes in brain metabolism match the severity of patient's seizures 6. Do changes in metabolism occur over time or in response to drug therapy

Clinical Features and Outcome of Wilson's Disease With Generalized Epilepsy in Chinese Patients...

Wilson DiseaseGeneralized Epilepsy

Generalized epilepsy is rarely reported in patients with Wilson disease (WD) and lacks experience in clinical practice. We aim to provide better experience for the diagnosis and treatment for WD patients with epilepsy in the future.

Putting Electroencephalography (EEG) in the Emergency Department

Altered Mental StatusGeneralized Nonconvulsive Seizure Disorder1 more

The aim of the proposed research is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a portable wireless electroencephalography (EEG) device (Biosignal Micro-EEG) to standard EEG in identifying abnormal EEG patterns (mainly non-convulsive seizure and non-convulsive status epilepticus) in emergency department (ED) patients with altered mental status. Comparing the the accuracy of EEG recordings and interpretations of Micro-EEG to those of standard EEG will allow the investigators to assess the utility of this novel device in the ED patients with altered mental status. The unique qualities of Micro-EEG device could potentially facilitate easier access to EEG test in all ED patients. This study will also provide valid information regarding the prevalence of non-convulsive seizure in ED patients with altered mental status.The gold standard for diagnosing non-convulsive seizure would be standard EEG. All study participants will undergo electroencephalography using the two devices (standard EEG and micro-EEG) and a combination of standard electrodes and Electro-Cap in a randomized order: 1. Standard EEG with standard EEG electrodes, 2. Micro-EEG with standard EEG electrodes, and 3. Micro-EEG with Electro-Cap electrodes.
