Overview
This prospective study aims to evaluate the effects of mega-dose vitamin D pulse therapy followed by maintenance therapy on seizure frequency, fatigue, and quality of life in patients with epilepsy. Participants will receive vitamin D supplementation, and clinical outcomes will be assessed over time to determine its potential benefits on seizure control and patient-reported outcomes.
Description
This is a prospective study designed to investigate the clinical effects of vitamin D supplementation in patients with epilepsy. Participants will receive a high-dose vitamin D pulse therapy followed by maintenance dosing. The study will assess changes in seizure frequency, fatigue, and quality of life over the study period. Clinical data will be collected longitudinally, and comparisons will be made to evaluate treatment effectiveness. This study aims to explore whether vitamin D supplementation can serve as a potential adjunctive therapy in epilepsy management.
