Health-Related Quality of Life and Family Impact Among Children with Epilepsy: The Role of Seizure Control - CONCLUSION: Sustained seizure control is associated with better overall HRQoL in children with epilepsy, particularly in social functioning, while other domains and family burden may persist beyond seizure status alone. These findings support integrated management strategies that address both seizure control and psychosocial well-being.

Real-world effectiveness of cenobamate in drug-resistant and ultra-refractory epilepsy: A multicenter study - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the real-world effectiveness, safety, and treatment retention of cenobamate (CNB) in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), including ultra-refractory epilepsy (URE), high seizure burden, and extensive prior treatment history.

Exome sequencing of pashtun familial epilepsy in Pakistan reveals novel variants in LAMA5, KCNQ2 and GNAO1 - CONCLUSIONS: This study expands the mutational and phenotypic spectrum of epilepsy-associated genes in a highly consanguineous population and highlights the efficiency of integrating genomic, clinical, and computational approaches for variant interpretation. The findings also suggest a potential recessive contribution of genes traditionally associated with dominant inheritance, warranting furth...

Sulfonadyn Compounds: A Class of Aryl Sulfonamides That Inhibit Dynamin GTPase and Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis and Are Antiepileptic in Animal Models - Synthetic modification of dansylcadaverine (1) and our previously identified dynamin I and clathrin-mediated endocytosis inhibitor S1-47 gave rise to new members of the sulfonadyns class of GTP-competitive dynamin inhibitors. Analogues in this class displayed high dynamin I, dynamin II, and clathrin-mediated endocytosis inhibition (inhibition of Tfn-A594 uptake in U2OS cells). Dynamin activity ...

A first in disease trial of the safety, tolerability, and anti-seizure effects of ES-481 in drug-resistant epilepsy - OBJECTIVES: ES-481 is a novel potent and selective antagonist of TARP-y8-dependent AMPA receptors. We aimed to assess the potential efficacy, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of different doses of ES-481 as an add-on anti-seizure medication (ASM) in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).

Brain signal irregularity may provide clues to understanding epileptic process - Researchers propose a new method to differentiate signals from the epileptic focus from those recorded in other parts of the brain without the presence of an epileptic seizure. This technique may help detect epilepsy-induced features from these signals much quicker than conventional analysis techniques.

Breakthrough tech enables seizure localization in minutes - New research introduces a novel network analysis technology that uses minimally invasive resting state electrophysiological recordings to localize seizure onset brain regions and predict seizure outcomes in just 10 minutes.

Antidepressant use during pregnancy not linked to epilepsy in children - A new study suggests that antidepressant use by mothers during the first trimester of pregnancy does not increase the chances of epilepsy and seizures in babies.
