Active clinical trials for "Seizures"

This is a multicenter, open label study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of YKP3089 as adjunctive therapy in subjects with partial onset seizures. Initially, subjects taking phenytoin or phenobarbital will be enrolled followed by additional subjects taking anti-epileptic drugs other than phenytoin and phenobarbital to further investigate long-term safety.

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label trial designed to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 3 multiple ascending doses of Cannabidiol Oral Solution in a sequential fashion. Participants will be pediatric (aged 1-17, inclusive), experiencing treatment-resistant seizures, and satisfy all inclusion/exclusion criteria.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 200 and 400 mg/day of orally administered Lacosamide as adjunctive therapy compared with placebo in Japanese and Chinese adults with uncontrolled Partial-Onset Seizures with or without secondary generalization.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two trough-ranges of everolimus given as adjunctive therapy in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who had refractory partial-onset seizures. The study consisted of 4 phases for each patient Baseline phase:[From Screening Week -8 (V1) to randomization visit at Week 0 (V2)], Core phase [from randomization at Week 0 (V2) to Week 18 (V11)], Extension phase [from Week 18 (V11) until 48 weeks after the last patient had completed the core phase] and Post Extension phase [from end of Extension phase to end of study].

The purpose of this study is to see the effects of non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation for the reduction in frequency of seizure associated with epilepsy in subjects 18 or older.

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled dose response study, with an 8-week prospective baseline and an 18 week double-blind treatment period (including a 6-week titration phase and 12 week maintenance phase), followed by a 3-week blinded study drug taper period (for subjects leaving the study) or a 2-week blinded conversion period (for subjects who will participate in the open-label extension). The primary objective of this study is to determine the effective dose range of YKP3089 as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial seizures. The trial will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of YKP3089 in the partial epilepsy population.

This trial attempts to evaluate the treatment efficacy of magnetic seizure therapy (MST) and its safety among schizophrenia patients. Half of the participants will be randomized to MST group, while the other half will be randomized to receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of high-frequency short duration tablet-based speech and language therapy (teleSLT) mixed with cognitive training (teleCT) in chronic stroke patients. Recent studies suggest that chronic stroke patients benefit from SLT with high frequency and that cognitive abilities can play a role in sentence comprehension and production by individuals with aphasia. To investigate the effects of the distribution of training time for teleSLT and teleCT the investigators use two combinations. In the experimental group 80% of the training time will be devoted to teleSLT and 20% to teleCT whereas in the control group 20% of the training time will be devoted to teleSLT and 80% to teleCT. Both groups receive the same total amount and frequency of intervention but with different distributions. At three time points (pre-, post-test and 8 week follow-up) the patients' word finding ability is measured.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross over study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus (trough 5-15 ng/mL) given as adjunctive therapy in patients with focal cortical dysplasia type II who already failed more than two antiepileptic drugs and surgery. This study will assess the impact of everolimus to placebo on seizure frequency in focal cortical dysplasia type II. The number of patients who experience seizure reduction of 50% or more will be counted during last 4 weeks of each core phase.

Vitamin D has been shown to impact prognosis in a variety of retrospective and randomized clinical trials within an intensive care unit (ICU) environment. Despite these findings, there have been no studies examining the impact of hypovitaminosis D in specialized neurocritical care units (NCCU). Given the often significant differences in the management of patients in NCCU and more generalized intensive care units there is a need for further inquiries into the impact of low vitamin D levels in this specific environment. This study proposes a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single center evaluation of vitamin D supplementation in the emergent NCCU patient population. The primary outcome will involve length-of-stay for emergent neurocritical care patients. Various secondary outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, ICU length-of-stay, Glasgow Outcome Score on discharge, complications and quality-of-life metrics. Patients will be followed for 6 months post-discharge.
