The hidden burden of sleep in adolescents with idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies (IGEs) are electroclinical syndromes characterized by distinct seizure types, EEG patterns, and presumed polygenic inheritance. While seizure prognosis is often favorable, sleep disturbances, behavioral and emotional difficulties, and executive function impairment are common, especially during ...

The burden of the postictal state in epilepsy: A prospective, single‐center observational cohort study

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The postictal state is a major yet underrecognized component of the epilepsy burden. We aimed to develop a structured patient‐reported instrument to quantify postictal recovery, characterize its multidimensional burden, and identify demographic, clinical, psychiatric, and treatment‐related factors associated with postictal severity ...

Sleep disturbances in SCN8A‐related disorders

Epilepsia Open
Objectives People with neurodevelopmental disorders frequently experience sleep disturbances, negatively impairing their quality of life. We aimed to determine the prevalence and nature of sleep disturbances in patients with SCN8A‐related disorders ...

Cognitive and behavioral clinical outcome assessments in children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: Issues and instruments

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) face cognitive and behavioral challenges that may have a greater impact than seizures on their quality of life (QoL). The need to assess these nonseizure outcomes for evaluating treatments is increasingly recognized.

Long‐term prognosis of pharmacotherapy in newly diagnosed focal epilepsy patients and the predictive value of baseline seizure timing: A prospective cohort study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a highly heterogeneous neurological disorder with significant prognostic variability. Accurate long‐term outcome prediction remains a clinical challenge. We investigated pharmacotherapeutic prognosis and key predictors, particularly baseline seizure timing, to guide individualized treatment.

Ultrafast oscillations in the human brain and their functional significance

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The upper frequency limit of human brain activity remains unknown. Using ultrahigh sampling rate (≥20 kHz) intracranial microelectroencephalography, this study aimed to systematically explore and quantitatively characterize brain field oscillations beyond the established high‐frequency oscillation range (>2 kHz), and to determine ...

The “Forbidden Zone for Sleep” might be caused by the evening thyrotropin surge and its biological purpose is to enhance survival: a hypothesis

Sleep Science, 2011
It is possible for normal subjects to fall asleep during daytime wakefulness, and the propensity for daytime sleep varies being high in the mid-afternoon and lower in the early evening 2 or 3 hours before overnight sleep onset.

Tonic–clonic seizures captured during ambulatory video‐EEG are frequently unreported

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Tonic–clonic seizures (TCSs) are widely regarded as clinically obvious, yet seizure counts used for treatment decisions and risk counseling often rely on patient or caregiver diaries. We sought to quantify the frequency of unreported TCSs during prolonged ambulatory video‐EEG (vEEG) monitoring and examined associations with ...

Gamma suppression correlates with thalamic stimulation therapeutic response in intractable epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy who undergo anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS), efficacy is assessed months after therapy initiation and clinicians have no guidance when choosing stimulation parameters due to the lack of real‐time biomarkers.
