Trait impulsivity in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveImpulsivity is a multidimensional construct that can predispose to psychopathology. Meta‐analysis demonstrates an association between response impulsivity and Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), a common genetic generalized epilepsy. Here, we test the hypotheses that trait impulsivity is (i) elevated in JME compared to controls; (ii ...

\s=b\ Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a common idiopathic generalized epileptic syndrome that occurs in 5% to 10% of patients with epilepsy. Despite this, it is still frequently unrecognized and misdiagnosed, even as epilepsy of focal onset. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy usually responds well to treatment with appropriate anticonvulsants, and misdiagnosis

Treatment of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy [PDF]
Drug treatment of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is mainly based on clinical experience and prospective and retrospective studies, with little evidence from randomized clinical trials. There are almost no head‐to‐head comparisons between old and new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Valproate is the drug of the first choice in men with JME.
