The advent of new anticonvulsants, the resurgence of the ketogenic diet, and the currently available surgical techniques mean that practitioners have many options for long term prophylaxis of seizure recurrence. Unfortunately, breakthrough seizures still occur. In some situations, an additional dose of...
interventions based on the physiopathologic understanding of this disease, evidence-based medical therapies for ICH are limited to recommendations on blood pressure (BP) reduction, intracranial pressure monitoring, osmotherapy with adequate fluid resuscitation, fever and glycemic control, and seizure ...

Seizure FrequencyRefractory EpilepsyVagal Nerve StimulationVagus nerve stimulation is a unique therapy for epileptic seizures. Two randomized controlled trials in patients with medically refractory partial seizures have demonstrated efficacy, leading to US Food and Drug Administration approval of vagus nerve ...
Nevertheless, some unique factors should be considered for pediatric electroconvulsive therapy, like the potential need for a preoperative anxiolytic and/or an inhalational induction of anesthesia, which might be unfavorable for evoking the required seizure needed for a successful treatment (e.g., [85...

HIV+ patients are at increased risk for developing seizures due to the vulnerability of the central nervous system to HIV-associated diseases, immune dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances. In patients with acute seizures, standard protocols still apply with urgent seizure cessation being the priority....

Randomized placebo-controlled trials of adjunctive treatment have demonstrated that once-daily perampanel doses of 4–12mg/day significantly reduced partial-onset seizure frequency in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy along with a favorable tolerability profile. In perampanel pivotal trials, the most...
