    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vagus nerve stimulation; VNS; Neuromodulation; Neurogenesis; VBLOC; Epilepsy; Depression; Safety; Efficacy; Effectiveness;

    Abstract : Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive palliative neuromodulatory treatment for drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) and chronic depression. It has also been proposed as a treatment for many other conditions such as chronic pain, heart failure, and Alzheimer’s disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pharmacodynamics of low-dose clonazepam in children with epilepsy or spasticity : neurophysiological and clinical studies

    Author : Maria Dahlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Children; epilepsy; spasticity; AED; clonazepam; seizures; electroencephalography; magnetoencephalography; dynamometer;

    Abstract : In children with epilepsy the evaluation of the efficacy of an antiepileptic drug (AED) is usually made by recording the seizure frequency. Some seizures are subtle and difficult to detect and epileptiform activity even without clinical seizures may cause cognitive dysfunctions. READ MORE

  5. 3. A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of an antiepileptic drug (lamotrigine) in young patients with drug-resistant generalized epilepsy
