Allogenic Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells(AMSCs) for Epilepsy During Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) Surgery
This study is a non-randomized, open label, phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the fesibility and safety of intrathalamic delivery of MSCs during standard of care DBS surgery for epilepsy. Subjects will be screened at our outpatient clinic and interested qualified subjects will be consented and offered participation in this …
National Survey on Physical and Sports Activity of Adults With Epilepsy
Epilepsy affects nearly 600,000 people in France and causes neurological seizures that can lead to lasting impairments and stigma. Physical activity provides many benefits, including improved quality of life, social participation, and reduced stress and seizure frequency. Despite these benefits, people with epilepsy tend to be less active than the …
Diagnosing Epilepsy To EffeCT Change Long-Term Follow-Up
The purpose of this research is to address the challenges of correctly monitoring, managing, and diagnosing epilepsy in participants whose seizures are not well captured by standard electroencephalography (EEG) tests and who cannot use or are not able to use more standard monitoring techniques. This research is being done to …
Assessment of Kidney Function in Patients With Epilepsy
This observational cross-sectional study aims to assess kidney function in pediatric patients with epilepsy attending Sohag University Hospital. The study evaluates renal biochemical markers, urinalysis, liver functions, abdominal ultrasonography, and the possible renal effects of long-term antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy.
SeizEAR Safety Study
Determine the safety and feasibility of an in-ear device to measure seizures or suspected seizures compared to the standard scalp-based electroencephalogram (EEG). The study team anticipates enrolling five healthy participants through meeting announcements and a research email list serv in the Neurology Dept. Based on the appropriate positive initial test …
Intracerebral Electrical Stimulation and the Optimisation of Presurgical Planning in Drug-refractory Partial Epilepsy
Patients with drug-refractory epilepsy sometimes need to be implanted with intracerebral electrodes in order to identify their seizure onset zone. During this procedure, direct electrical brain stimulations represent a standard clinical practice to assess seizure sensitivity and for functional mapping. This study aims at assessing if extending the range of …
Methylphenidate for the Treatment of Epilepsy-related Cognitive Deficits
Methylphenidate (MPH) is a stimulant, FDA-approved for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is unknown, however, if stimulants would be of benefit for memory and thinking problems due to epilepsy. In this study, participants will be assigned randomly (i.e., by flip of a coin), to a group …
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 …
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 …
