Clinical and Electrographic Changes in Responsive Neurostimulation System (RNS) Patients With Acupuncture Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine effects of Acupuncture on a Patient's mood and cognition,evaluate changes in clinically-reported seizure frequency and severity and analyze effects of Acupuncture on electrographic epileptiform activity stored by the RNS System
Improvement Effect of Lacosamide and Levetiracetam on Cognitive in Alzheimer's Disease Patients With Epilepsy
Participants will perform Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive section (ADAS-Cog), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) evaluation. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, treated with lacosamide and levetiracetam respectively, and maintained for …
DigitalEPI - A Prospective Pilot Study
Not all patients with epilepsy requiring advanced checkups in specialized tertiary centers can be admitted for long-term video EEG monitoring. Home EEG recordings or home EEG monitoring using self-applicable EEG recording systems would therefore help overcome an unmet need in the treatment of such patients. Dry electrode EEG systems are …
Stimulation of Sleep in Patients With Epilepsy
Sleep slow waves (SSW) and the pathophysiological mechanisms of spike generation in patients with epilepsy are tightly linked. SSW are cortically generated oscillations (~1 Hz) alternating between a hyperpolarized down-state (neuronal silence) and a depolarized up-state (neuronal firing). It has been shown experimentally that with increasing synchrony of slow neuronal …
Caracterization of the Combined Alterations in Respiration and AROUSal in Patients with Drug-resistant EpiLepsy
30% of patients with epilepsy suffer from drug-resistant seizures and are at risk of epilepsy-related complications, from cognitive dysfunctions to premature mortality. Both seizures and their complications are modulated by patients' vigilance states, with a tight and bi-directional interplay between sleep and epilepsy. Several epilepsy complications are associated with sleep, …
A Study to Test the Safety and Tolerability of Brivaracetam in Children and Adolescents With Seizures
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of brivaracetam.
Investigation of Blood-Brain-Barrier Breakdown Using Manganese Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Background The blood-brain barrier separates the brain from the rest of the body. Epilepsy is a neurological disease that causes seizures. It can affect this barrier. Researchers think a contrast agent called mangafodipir might be better able to show areas of the brain that epilepsy affects. Objective To see if …
Seizure Rescue Medication (RM) as Part of a Comprehensive Epilepsy Self-management Package of Care
This study will be done in two phases. Using stakeholder input (community advisory board (CAB)), the study team will adapt the SMART program to incorporate education and self-management support for use of Rescue Medication (RM) to manage seizure occurrence among Persons With Epilepsy (PWE) who have repetitive seizures. Additional content/support …
Pharmacogenetics-Based Study on Individualized Use of Sodium Valproate
Sodium valproate (VPA) is a first-line prescription drug widely used in the treatment of epilepsy. However, in clinical applications, it has been found that there is a large individual variation in the blood concentration of VPA. In particular, excessively high blood drug concentrations can lead to various side effects, especially …
Risk Prevention Program and Therapeutic Patient Education Program of Patients With Uncontrolled Epilepsy
Pilot, controled, randomized study aiming to evaluate a plan for the prevention of risks related to epilepsy, 3 months after the last therapeutic patient education session. Two groups of patients will be compared: group "intervention" (consultation with the neurologist then a psychologist followed by a session dedicated to risk prevention …
