Clinical Trial: Intracranial CArtography of Cortical Contribution to Respiratory Load Compensation in Epilepsy

U.S., May 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07599150) titled 'Intracranial CArtography of Cortical Contribution to Respiratory Load Compensation in Epilepsy' on May 06.

Brief Summary: 30% of patients with epilepsy suffer from drug-resistant seizures and have a greater risk of premature mortality than the general population. Among all causes of death, the most frequent is SUDEP, for sudden and unexpected death in epilepsy patients. SUDEP typically occurs after a nocturnal seizure, and primarily results from a postictal central respiratory dysfunction in patients with generalized convulsive seizure (GCS), suggesting the critical role of seizure-related impairment of breathing control, and undersc...
