Risk Factors for Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy
The main purpose of this study is to develop a North American registry for SUDEP cases; requesting family members of epilepsy patients who died suddenly of unclear causes (SUDEP) to contact the study team. The family members who decide to participate in the study will be asked to complete a …
Forecasting Seizures Using Intelligent Wearable Technology for Health Tracking
The goal of this interventional study is to develop a personalized seizure risk forecast tool in people with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: can we develop a future seizure probabilities tool that is more accurate than chance based on the pattern and frequency of previous generalized …
A Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Perampanel Administered as an Adjunctive Therapy in Pediatric Participants With Childhood Epilepsy
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of perampanel as measured by the 50 percent (%) responder rate during the maintenance period of the core study for seizure frequency in participants with pediatric epileptic syndrome (Cohort 1) and partial-onset seizures (POS) (Cohort 2).
Ketogenic Diet for Prevention of Epileptic Spasms in Infantile Onset Genetic Epilepsies
Epileptic spasms (ES) are a predominantly infantile seizure type observed frequently in certain genetic disorders. Ketogenic diet (high ratio of fat to carbohydrate/protein) is an established non-medication treatment for difficult to control seizures, including ES. Because ES are associated with worse developmental and cognitive outcomes if not detected or treated …
Mapping Epileptic Networks Using Multimodal Imaging
Currently, mapping the epileptogenic zone is based on a comprehensive preoperative assessment involving clinical, imaging and electrophysiological examinations. To reduce the need for invasive stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) explorations, electrophysiological and imaging methods have been developed, such as resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) coupled with electroencephalogram and arterial spin-labeling perfusion MRI (ASL-MRI). It …
PRIME: PReservIng Memory in Epilepsy
In this study, participants will receive unilateral Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for treatment of epilepsy, with network-based stimulation targets specifically defined using a stereo-electro-encephalographic evaluation and chronic recordings using the Medtronic Percept™ primary cell (PC) Neurostimulator DBS System with BrainSense™ Technology. The hypothesis is that, compared to no stimulation or …
Collaborative Care in Posttraumatic Epilepsy
The purpose of this research is to evaluate a 6 month change in quality of life in subjects who receive collaborative care calls compared to those subjects who receive usual neurology care. This is a 2-site trial comparing a 24 week neurology-based collaborative care program to usual neurology care among …
Study of NRTX-1001 Neural Cell Therapy in Drug-Resistant Unilateral Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (EPIC (EPIlepsy Cell Therapy))
This clinical trial is designed to test whether a single image-guided intracerebral administration of inhibitory nerve cells, called interneurons (NRTX-1001), into subjects with drug-resistant unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), with or without mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), is safe (frequency of adverse events) and effective (seizure frequency). NRTX-1001 comprises human …
Effect of Sulthiame on EEG in Childhood Epilepsy Syndromes
The effect of sulthiame on EEG has been studied in epilepsy syndromes of childhood with sleep activation by comparing sleep EEG obtained at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. The aim of the study is to know if an effect is still identifiable after 2 weeks of treatment by …
High-resolution Multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Focal Epilepsy
Patients with focal epilepsy often have diagnostic difficulties as their culprit for seizures are difficult to be picked up using conventional imaging. The current study is to investigate the utility of advanced MRI sequences on detection of subtle lesions accountable for focal epilepsy.
