Auditory event-related potentials (P300) in epileptic patients.
2001
Auditory event-related potentials (AERPs) were recorded during an auditory oddball paradigm in 108 epileptics and in 32 healthy controls. P300 latency varied in relationship with age only in controls. Symptomatic epileptics had significantly prolonged P300 mean latency compared to those without detectable brain lesion(s) on MR scan. Moreover, these latter patients were compared on the basis of epilepsy duration, type of seizure, seizure frequency and antiepileptic treatment; the application of a multiple regression model showed a significant relationship between P300 latency prolongation and epilepsy duration, seizure frequency and polytherapy.
First clinical postmarketing experiences in the treatment of epilepsies with brivaracetam: a retrospective observational multicentre study.
2019
ObjectivesBrivaracetam (BRV) is the latest approved antiepileptic drug and acts as a synaptic vesicle protein 2A ligand. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of BRV in the clinical setting.DesignRetrospective, observational multicentre study.SettingWe retrospectively collected clinical data of patients who received BRV in 10 epilepsy centres using a questionnaire that was answered by the reporting neurologist.ParticipantsData of 615 epilepsy patients treated with BRV were included in the study.Primary and secondary outcome measuresEfficacy regarding seizure frequency and tolerability of BRV were evaluated. Descriptive statistics complemented by X2 conti…
