Active clinical trials for "Epilepsy"

This study is a 12 week prospective, comparative investigation in subjects diagnosed with uncontrolled genetic generalised epilepsy (GGE) also known as idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE). The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the 24/7 EEG™ SubQ system, a subcutaneous implantable device, will demonstrate seizure sensitivity approximating that of inpatient video-EEG monitoring with the standard 10-20 electrode system.

Open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics of a single diazepam buccal film (DBF) dose in 3 age cohorts of pediatric patients with epilepsy (age 2-5 years, age 6-11 years, and age 12-16 years). Subjects in the 6-11 years and 12-16 years age cohorts received a single DBF dose during the interictal period (Period A) and ictal/peri-ictal period (Period B) with at least 14 days washout between doses. Subjects in the age 2-5 years age cohort received a single DBF dose only during the ictal/peri-ictal period (Period B).

To evaluate the tolerance, acceptability and compliance of Keyo in 20 subjects aged 3 years and over, with intractable epilepsy or Glut-1 DS on a KD.

Single-centre, open-label, randomized, two-sequence, two-way crossover study. The study consisted of two consecutive single-dose treatment periods separated by a washout period of 10 to 14 days or more.

Single-centre, open-label, randomised, gender-balanced, 3-way crossover, 3-period, 3-sequence study in 18 healthy male and female subjects.

Single centre, open-label, multiple doses, two parallel study groups each receiving two formulations in a one-sequence design

Epilepsy is a chronic disease with a psychosocial impact on the patient. The technique called 'Mandala of Emotions' (ME), derived from the Traditional Chinese Medicine, facilitates expression and awareness of emotions. In our pilot case study, the group "intervention with ME" managed to arouse their emotions and after the intervention felt lighter and relaxed at a higher frequency than the control group. We conducted a blind case control study to further assess usefulness of ME. Materials and Methods: Patients and caregivers recruited at an Epilepsy Outpatients Clinic with the approval of Ethics Committee were randomly divided into groups 'Control' (n=57) and 'Intervention' (n=53). In the ME group, five colored stones (green, red, yellow, white and black) were applied according to the emotion chosen by the participant. Individual assessment performed blinded to who received intervention applied a structured questionnaire and Likert-scales about the degree of relaxation and feelings pre- and post-experiment.

This is a UK, multi-center, non-interventional study based on the use of health service administrative and medical records (paper-based and/or electronic, as applicable) along with the use of prospectively collected subject-reported outcomes on experience with use of VNS therapy using validated and bespoke self-completion questionnaires. Data for hospital resource utilisation will be extracted from the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) database.

The primary objective of the study is to characterize seizures in participants with KCNT1-related epilepsy. The secondary objectives are to characterize head growth, symptom severity, neurocognitive and social functions, adaptive behavior, sleep, quality of life, caregiver burden, and mood in participants with KCNT1-related epilepsy.

The investigators will treat patients with fully characterized refractory unifocal neocortical epilepsy with a technique that delivers magnetic waves (transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS) to the region that causes the epilepsy. Active rTMS applied over the epileptogenic focus will reduce seizure frequency compared with sham rTMS.
