Active clinical trials for "Seizures"

NEMO is a multicentre pan European clinical trial with the aim to develop new treatment strategies for the treatment of neonatal seizures using the loop diuretic bumetanide. There is evidence that bumetanide improves GABAergic function of the current standard drug, phenobarbitone. Bumetanide has been used as a diuretic in term and preterm babies for around thirty years. This trial should confirm that Bumetanide in addition to standard treatment will result in better seizures control.

The investigators determined whether new short, metaphyseal-fitting cementless anatomical femoral stem provides major functional improvements radiographically secure implant fixation is achieved with this new stem the bone content is preserved at the baseline level or above at the final follow-up these procedures are associated with early failure and complications.

The purpose of this study is to determine if having children listen to the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448) will lessen the amount of spike discharges on his/her Electroencephalography (EEG). These spike discharges often occur during a 24 hour period in the EEG of a child with Benign Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (BCECTS), or Rolandic Epilepsy. Should there be a decrease in the amount of spike discharges after listening to Mozart's music, this information may lead to new understanding and possible treatments for epilepsy.

The purpose of this study is to explore the maximum tolerated dose of E2007 in Japanese patients with refractory partial seizures which are uncontrolled with other anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). Thirty patients will receive E2007 (dose escalating to the maximum of 12 mg per day). The dose of E2007 will be adjusted during 6 weeks. Subsequently, the dose will be fixed and maintained during 4 weeks.

The objective of this study was to assess bioequivalence of a potential generic 600 mb oxcarbazepine tablet formulation compared with Novartis Pharmaceutical's 600 mg oxcarbazepine tablet, Trileptal, following a single 600 mg dose, administered with food.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to determine the maximum tolerated dose of E2007. Epilepsy patients with refractory partial seizures will be divided into two groups of 24 patients each. One group will be patients who take concomitant inducing AEDs (anti-epileptic drugs) and the second group will be patients who do not take concomitant inducing AEDs. In each group, 18 patients will receive E2007 (dose escalating to a maximum of 12 mg per day) and six will receive placebo.

Protocol Summary Population - Target population is 10 adults (18 to 75 years of age) with a diagnosis of treatment-resistant epilepsy with at least 20 seizures per year, and whose seizure onset recorded from scalp EEG is localized to a brain region accessible by the subcutaneous EEG electrodes Number of sites - Three sites; King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, University College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, St George's University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Study design - This study is an observational, non-randomised, non-interventional study. It is not intended as a device trial. It is not intended to assess the device performance, rather the usefulness of bio-signals in seizure prediction and in detecting seizure-associated phenomena. There will be no change to usual care as a result of taking part. A subcutaneous EEG device will be implanted under local anaesthesia to record continuous EEG and a non-invasive wrist-worn sensor will be used to acquire non-EEG bio-signals (eg. heart activity and rate, movements, muscle activity, electrodermal activity, body temperature) Objectives - The association will be investigated between non-invasive measurable variables related to stress and sleep, semi-invasive subcutaneous EEG phenomena, and the occurrence of seizures. The predictive value of change in non-invasive variables semi-invasive subcutaneous EEG phenomena for the occurrence of seizures will be assessed. Study Duration - Up to one year for each patient. Participants may be approached during or after this study to participate in related studies. Funding - This study receives funding from the Epilepsy Foundation of America, Innovative Medicines Institute (IMI) and UNEEG medical A/S.

This study aims to compare the short-term clinical performance of the three contact lenses (Methafilcon A IV, Ocufilcon B 1-day and Omafilcon A 1-day daily disposable).

The aim of this non-dispensing fitting study is to evaluate the short term lens fit, vision performance of three monthly replacement sphere lenses.

This study is a non-randomized, open label, bilateral, non- dispensing clinical trial with only one visit. The Eye Care Providers will be provided with a fitting guide and will determine the initial study lens selection. Each subject will wear either the investigational contact lenses or marketed contact lenses for approximately 30-90 minutes. This study aims to evaluate the ECPs impression of the fitting guide for a novel multifocal lens and also their success in fitting the lenses.
