Alzheimer Disease 3Epilepsy

Participants will perform Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive section (ADAS-Cog), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) evaluation. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, treated with lacosamide and levetiracetam respectively, and maintained for 6 months. Researchers will compare the lacosamide group with the levetiracetam group to see if the improvement of cognitive function in the two groups.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting millions of people all over the world. Epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal synchronized electrical neuronal discharges that could be either focal or widespread. Pathogenesis of epilepsy involves multiple processes including genetics, oxidative stress, ion channels, neuroinflammation, and cellular damage through autophagy and apoptosis. Neuroinflammation is considered one of the most important factors contributing critically to epileptogenesis.

Refractory EpilepsySYNGAP1 Encephalopathy4 more

This study is a pilot non-controlled clinical trial with adjunctive fenfluramine for the treatment of five different types of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) focused on epileptic and "non-epileptic outcomes": SYNGAP1 and STXBP1 encephalopathies, inv-dup(15) encephalopathy, multifocal or bilateral malformations of cortical development, and continuous spikes and waves during sleep. The main goal is to assess changes in seizure frequency comparing before and after treatment with fenfluramine in five specific types of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). Secondary objectives of this study are the analysis of changes in seizure intensity and duration, and "non-epileptic outcomes" such as variations in cognitive activity, level of alertness, impulsivity/self-control, gait stability and other alterations that might be detected during the interview and physical examination.

Cathodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Patients With Drug-resistant Focal Epilepsy...

Drug Resistant Epilepsy

The basis of this project is the application of cathodal tDCS in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy including patients whose seizures persist after epilepsy surgery, who rejected epilepsy surgery, and/or who are not suitable for surgery. For this purpose, 5-day consecutive cathodal electrical stimulation sessions will be used with personalized electrode montage according to the patient's seizure focus. In this context, the changes in seizures frequency and epileptic discharges will be examined for the first week and 12th week after the tDCS sessions through the seizure diary of the patients and the electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings to be taken. In addition, changes in cognitive functions, mood, and quality of life will be examined in patients after the intervention.

Physical Excercise Program in Children With Drug-resistant Epilepsy

Epilepsy in Children

Pediatric epilepsy has been described as an age related-condition, and it has a strong impact on childhood quality of life. Psychological symptoms and self-esteem impairment are common facts. Although there are some studies studying the benefits of physical exercise in order to improve seizure control in adults with epilepsy, we have not found studies that support it in pediatric population. Few studieshave reported in childhood some benefits in terms of quality of life, self-esteem and improvement of neuropsychological symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to use a validated and applicable scale of quality of life in children with epilepsy. Otherwise, findings may be difficult to reproduce

Exploring the Preventive Effect of Mitochondrial Protective Agent Idebenone on Post-stroke Epilepsy...

Post Stroke Epilepsy

According to the random number table, all patients were divided into short-term treatment group, long-term treatment group and non-intervention stroke control group according to the proportion of (1:1:1) epilepsy disease modifier idebenone. Patients in the short-term treatment group will take idebenone for a total course of 14 days (acute period) after stroke, and patients in the long-term treatment group will take idebenone for a total course of 3 months after stroke.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

This is a Phase 3, global, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of adjunctive GNX treatment in children and adults with TSC-related epilepsy. The study consists of a 4-week prospective Baseline phase, defined as the first 28 days following screening, followed by a double-blind phase consisting of a 4-week titration period (Day 1 to Day 28) and a 12-week maintenance period (Day 29 to Week 16).

TMS Combined With EEG/EMG as a Biomarker Predicting Antiepileptic Drug Response

Focal Epilepsy

Ιn the present study (BIOEPI), the following three hypotheses will be investigated: The proposed TMS-EEG / EMG protocol (which includes software for calculating the cerebral cortex stimulation threshold) in combination with advanced signal analysis and data mining methods will allow the detection of the effect of antiepileptic drugs (AED) with different mechanisms of action (lacosamide & brivaracetam) in the Central Nervous System under healthy and pathological conditions (Epilepsy). AED-induced changes in selected TMS-EEG / EMG features predict the clinical response of individual epileptic patients to AED. AED-induced changes in selected TMS-EEG / EMG features may predict cognitive side effects.

Epilepsy in Alzheimer's Disease: Effect on Disease Progression

Mild Cognitive ImpairmentAlzheimer Disease

This is a long-term, prospective, interventional study to investigate the role and prevalence of subclinical epileptiform activity in the hippocampus in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The investigators would like to investigate whether subclinical epileptiform activity in the hippocampus is more prevalent in patients with MCI, compared to healthy controls and to evaluate its effects on cognitive decline. Evolution of cognitive decline will be assessed over a time period of two years.
