Active clinical trials for "Seizures"

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of USL261 compared with that of intranasal (IN) placebo for the treatment of intermittent bouts of increased seizure activity.

To evaluate the efficacy of GWP42003-P as adjunctive treatment in reducing the number of drop seizures when compared with placebo, in participants with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).

This is a multicentre, long-term, open-label extension (OLE) study to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of retigabine immediate-release (IR) as adjunctive therapy in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS).

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term administration of Lacosamide at doses up to 400 mg/day in Japanese and Chinese adults with Epilepsy who have completed the Treatment and Transition Period of EP0008 [NCT01710657]

The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of perampanel compared to placebo in patients with refractory partial-onset seizures

Music has a long history in healing physical and mental illness. The Mozart effect was initially reported by Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky in the journal of "Nature" in the year of 1993. They examined performance on Stanford-Binet spatial tasks immediately following either 10 minutes of listening to Mozart's sonata K.448, silence, or instruction to relax. They found the performance scores were 9 point higher in Mozart-listening group than other two groups. Later, the beneficial influence of Mozart music on parkinson's disease, epilepsy, senile dementia, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder was reported. However, the real neurophysiological mechanism of the influence remains unclear. Epilepsy is a common disorder in the field of pediatric neurology. Although we had greatly advanced in develop of new anticonvulsant, thirty percent of patients with epilepsy have drug-resistance, which is associated with an increased risk of debilitating psychosocial consequences. In addition, the adverse effects of anticonvulsants are not uncommon. Few reports demonstrated that patients exposed to Mozart's music can significantly decrease in seizure frequencies and interictal epileptiform discharge. However, the case number of these studies was limited and the mechanisms of music therapy on epilepsy were not well known. In our recent studies, Mozart's music indeed decreased the epileptifrom discharge in the patients with epilepsy, particularly in the patients with generalized discharge and central discharge. On the basis of these encouraging results, we will try to investigate the neural mechanisms and clinical applications of music therapy in the following three years. In the first year of our study, we use animal model to examine the possible mechanism of Mozart's effect. The aim of the second year study is investigation the effect of music on the cortical functions in the epileptic rat model. According to our previous study, Mozart's sonata K.448 was effective in reducing epileptiform discharge. On the basis of previous two-year results, the patients with epilepsy will be enrolled in the third year project to perform an individualized music therapy. In this study, we can provide an alternative therapy in the patients of epilepsy and investigate the possible biological mechanism of music effect.

The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of lacosamide administered as add-on therapy with 1 to 3 anti-seizure medications. This trial is for children aged 1 month to less than 4 years with epilepsy who currently have uncontrolled partial-onset seizures.

EP0024 is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous (iv) lacosamide (LCM). Adjunctive iv LCM therapy (200 mg/day to 400 mg/day) will be administered for 5 days as replacement for oral LCM tablets in Japanese adults with partial-onset seizures.

Primary: - to evaluate the efficacy of phenobarbital in reducing seizure frequency. Secondary: to confirm dose response relationship, to assess the effects on Type I seizures, to assess the safety of phenobarbital to assess the drug tolerability.

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
