This randomized controlled trial provided the first evidence that combined physical training improves executive function in adults with epilepsy, showing main improvements in attention and language tasks.
The results provide evidence that epilepsy SM behavior and practices, QoL, outcome expectation for epilepsy treatment and management, self-efficacy, and outcome expectation and impact of epilepsy significantly improve following a personalized SM education intervention.
The researchers found no differences in development, thinking skills or behavior between the children who had febrile seizures following a vaccination and those who had febrile seizures at other times or those who never had a seizure.
These results suggest that various modulatory processes, operating at different timescales, appear to lead to variable seizure pathways in individual patients.
