Neuromodulation in Drug Resistant Epilepsy [PDF]
Aging and disease, 2021 Epilepsy affects approximately 70 million people worldwide, and it is a significant contributor to the global burden of neurological disorders. Despite the advent of new AEDs, drug resistant-epilepsy continues to affect 30-40% of PWE. Once identified as having drug-resistant epilepsy, these patients should be referred to a comprehensive epilepsy center

Drug-Resistant Epilepsy and Surgery [PDF]
Current Neuropharmacology, 2017 Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease that is caused by various factors and characterized by recurrent, episodic and temporary central nervous system dysfunction which results due to excessive discharge of brain neurons. In the past decades, despite the continuous development of antiepileptic drugs, there are still many patients with epilepsy progressing

Drug resistance is estimated to affect about a third of individuals with epilepsy, but its prevalence differs in relation to the epilepsy syndrome, the cause of epilepsy, and other factors such as age of seizure onset and presence of associated neurological deficits.

Mechanisms of Apoptosis in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 2022Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease with regular spontaneous seizures associated with neuroinflammatory, autoimmune and neurodegenerative processes. Approximately 40% of patients suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy, which leads to an increased risk of premature death, injury, irreversible brain damage, psychosocial dysfunction, and reduced ...

Topiramate for drug-resistant epilepsies
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2000Topiramate is a new anti-epileptic drug with proven efficacy against partial seizures in adults. A retrospective assessment of the use of topiramate in drug-resistant childhood epilepsy was undertaken. Thirty-four children (median age of 10 years; range 2-18 years) were treated for a median of 9 months (range 6-18 months).

The Preoperative Evaluation of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Pediatric Neurology, 2020Antiepileptic drugs afford good seizure control for approximately 70% of individuals with epilepsy. Epilepsy surgery is extremely helpful for appropriate individuals with drug resistance. Since antiquity, trephination was a crude and invasive technique to manage epilepsy.

Ciprofloxacin for treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy
Epilepsy Research, 2021To investigate the efficacy of short-term treatment with ciprofloxacin in alteration of gut microbiota pattern and reduction of seizure frequency in adult patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.In a prospective study, we investigated the effect of a 5-day course of treatment with ciprofloxacin on gut microbiota pattern and seizure frequency of 23 adults

Management of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Continuum, 2016This review discusses the definition, evaluation, and management of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.Drug-resistant epilepsy is defined as a failure of two or more appropriately selected and adequately tried anticonvulsant medications to achieve seizure freedom for a sustained period of time in either monotherapy or polytherapy.

Genetics of drug resistance in epilepsy
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2005Drug resistance is a major clinical problem in epilepsy, affecting one in three patients. It is likely to have a complex multifactorial basis, with environmental and genetic contributions. Knowledge of robust genetic factors underlying drug resistance might both improve prediction and permit the development of novel rational treatments for resistance ...
