The electrodes allowed doctors to find epilepsy networks in nearly 88 percent of patients.
In 11 participants given the highest dose of 50 mg, increases in EEG spectral power were observed across all bands and distributed over all cortical brain regions.
Genetics
The researchers identified 26 distinct areas in our DNA that appear to be involved in epilepsy. This included 19 which are specific to a particular form of epilepsy called 'genetic generalized epilepsy' (GGE).
Sleep, SUDEP
Seizure detection devices (SDDs) may lower the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and provide reassurance to people with epilepsy and their relatives.
Results exhibited a significant increase in epilepsy knowledge after the intervention for people with epilepsy and their relatives.
Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, Treatment
These results should lead to a reduction in the number of drugs received and the avoidance of medications with unfavorable cognitive profiles.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Preventative treatment with vigabatrin based on EEG epileptiform activity prior to seizure onset does not improve neurocognitive outcome at 24 months in TSC children.
Genetics, Treatment
By tailoring treatment to individual seizure patterns and pharmacological properties, chronopharmacology offers a personalized approach to improve outcomes in patients with epilepsy.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed people with epilepsy (PWE) to harmful consequences mainly due to medical shortages and worse life states. During the pandemic, there were delays in the diagnosis of PWE, and doctors' prescription habits changed.
