Longitudinal Study of Phenotypic and Developmental Severity in Patients With Dravet Syndrome With SCN1A Gene Mutation
Dravet syndrome with SCN1A gene mutation is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by treatment-resistant epilepsy and global developmental delay. Despite the considerable attention recently Dravet syndrome (DS) in drug development, studies characterising the progression of the neurodevelopmental phenotype over time remain limited. In particular, many previous studies of natural …
The Genetics Navigator: Evaluating a Digital Platform for Genomics Health Services
Genetic testing (GT) (including targeted panels, exome and genome sequencing) is increasingly being used for patient care as it improves diagnosis and health outcomes. In spite of these benefits, genetic testing is a complex and costly health service. This results in unequal access, increased wait times and inconsistencies in care. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
CureDRPLA Global Patient Registry
The objective of the CureDRPLA Global Patient Registry is to establish a longitudinal database of patient-reported data on individuals affected with Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) from anywhere in the world. The CureDRPLA Global Patient Registry will address patient needs by: Expanding patient engagement by documenting quality of life outcomes. Providing anonymized …
Music Perception in SeLECTs
Self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) is the most frequent epilepsy syndrome in children between the ages of 4 and 13 years. SeLECTS is associated in 15 to 30% of patients with specific cognitive deficits, including in particular disorders in language, visuo-spatial memory, declarative memory, and attention. SeLECTS has the …
The "New" Place of LEVETIRACETAM in the Management of Status Epilepticus in Children
Status epilepticus is the leading neurological emergency in children, with mortality 2-7% and significant morbidity (10-20%). It is defined as the occurrence of a crisis lasting more than 5 minutes and requiring the implementation of treatment to stop it and thus limit the immediate and long-term consequences. The research hypothesis …
Prospective Regional Epilepsy Database
PREDICT is an observational study following adults with an unprovoked seizure or epilepsy in the health care region of western Sweden. The objective is to identify biomarkers and/or genetic predisposition of relevance for diagnosis and/or treatment of epilepsy and study the long-term prognosis and consequences of epilepsy.
An Observational Study of Epilepsy: Biology and Outcomes Using Real-world Data
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about phenotypic, genetic, biochemical, neurophysiological and radiological patterns in epilepsy. Participants will be asked to consent to use of clinical and paraclinical data (obtained during standard care) for research, and will be asked to donate blood samples at their routine …
