Pediatric Epilepsy
Children with epilepsy who are as active as peers without epilepsy have good objective measures of sleep despite self-reported fatigue and parent-reported sleep problems.
Genetics
The data argue for early consideration of WES with iterative reanalysis for patients with epilepsy, particularly those with DEE or epilepsy with intellectual disability.
This study estimates the active (9/1000) and lifetime (16/1000) epilepsy with a remarkable burden of the disease in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Participants of LASSE XIII demonstrated an ability to empathize with their patients in retrospect by portraying the inner feelings of division and imprisonment of those having seizures.
This study states that clinicians should be aware of the possible cutaneous adverse drug reactions induced by levetiracetam to avoid the development of a potentially fatal condition.
Genetics
Recent epilepsy research news includes findings about "silencing" neurons to gain seizures control, enhanced understanding of how epilepsy affects memory, and more.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Researchers have shown therapeutic efficacy of a new experimental drug in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and a rare genetic form of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome.
Pediatric Epilepsy
A clinical trial is evaluating the safety and tolerability of a nutritional formulation containing the ketone beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) as a treatment to help control seizures in children with Angelman syndrome.
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used a neuropeptide to successfully reduce seizure-like activity in tissue from patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
