Neural Autoantibody Prevalence in New-onset Focal Seizures of Unknown Etiology
Seizure is one of the most common symptoms in autoimmune encephalitis with neuronal surface-mediated antibodies. Interestingly, some patients may exhibit new-onset seizures as the initial manifestation without fulminant sign of encephalitis, particularly in the early stage. It is essential to recognize these patients early and to perform antibody testing, as …
Tianasen (ASO-GNAO1) for GNAO1-Encephalopathy With Epilepsy and Movement Disorders.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug ASO-GNAO1 (Tianasen) in pediatric patients with c.607G\>A mutation in the GNAO1 gene associated with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does intrathecal administration of ASO-GNAO1 slow or …
Intensive Preoperative Speech Rehabilitation in Drug-Resistant Temporal Epilepsy
Out of 30,000 new cases per year in France, 30% of epileptic patients are drug-resistant. Neurosurgery, which consists in resecting the epileptogenic zone, is the only chance of cure. In the case of temporal epilepsy of the language-dominant hemisphere (TLE), this procedure presents a high risk of increasing cognitive difficulties …
Spatial Memory and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can cause memory disorders, including long-term forgetfulness due to a failure to consolidate verbal but also spatial information. The forgetting phenomenon presented by these epileptic patients is called accelerated forgetting in the literature and remains difficult to objectify during cognitive assessments. It is indeed particularly complicated …
MiCrobiota-gut-brain Axis in Resistant Epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological chronic conditions with a serious burden on patients, their caregivers, and society. Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) heightens this burden. New approaches are thus a priority. Studies in animal models and humans have shown the link between gut microbiota (GM) and the central nervous …
A Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Zonisamide as a First Add-On Treatment in Epileptic Seizures
This study primarily aims to assess the efficacy and safety of zonisamide when used as an adjunctive therapy for focal epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the frequency of epileptic seizures decrease after oral zonisamide， and does it improve cognitive function? Are there any treatment-emergent adverse …
Oscillatory Activity in Basal Ganglia Circuits During Normal and Pathological Movement
The expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms is accompanied by pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity in this cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. The purpose of this research is to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in two pathologies emblematic of hypokinetic (Parkinson's disease) and hyperkinetic (epilepsies) …
High-field MR Imaging in Migraine, Visual Snow and Epilepsy
In this project, the aim is to recruit patients with drug resistant epilepsy and those suffering from migraine. Interestingly, patients suffering from epilepsy are also more often reporting to suffer from migraine. The pathobiology is understudied, but it is believed that both etiologies results from brain networks changes. A clinical …
fMRI in Deep Brain Stimulation
With fMRI, we want to understand the mechanisms of brain neuromodulation in (dys)functional brain circuits, to obtain knowledge on involved brain networks in DBS.
SCN1A Horizons A Natural History Study of SCN1A-related Epilepsies in the United Kingdom
The aims of this prospective natural history study are to define the seizure, neuro-developmental, and behavioural characteristics of SCN1A-related epilepsies/Dravet syndrome in children and adults longitudinally over a period of three years. In addition, this study will compare missense and truncating genotypes in terms of i) rates of change of …
