Guidelines on antiepileptic treatment are limited to the first treatment attempts, leaving many degrees of freedom in later stages of treatment. This study sought to ascertain factors that are related to the antiepileptic drug load in epilepsy.
To assess prognostic patterns and investigate clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) variables associated with persistent treatment resistance in a population of genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) patients with a long?term follow?up.
This study aims to evaluate the language function of children of women with epilepsy (CWE) aged 9-13 years in comparison with their peers, and its relationship with intrauterine AED exposure.
This study aimed to analyze the evolution (in terms of remission and persistence) and changes in the type, localization, frequency, and intensity of Self-Injurious Behaviors (SIBs).
A team of researchers from the Florida State University College of Medicine has found that an amino acid produced by the brain could play a crucial role in preventing a type of epileptic seizure.
Seizure forecasting may provide patients with timely warnings to adapt their daily activities and help clinicians deliver more objective, personalized treatments.

A round-up of epilepsy news from the past month.
Existing classifications schemes should be better suited to field conditions in resource-limited communities in low- and middle-income countries. The finding of drug resistant epilepsy in nearly at least a third in a community-based sample underscores an unmet need for enhancing services for this segment within healthcare systems.
Researchers quantified the risk of stroke following epileptic seizures in this case-control analysis based on Swedish national registers. The risk appeared to be especially high in the first year after seizure diagnosis; this finding lends support to the notion that unexplained late-onset seizures may merit prompt evaluation of vascular risk profile.
