Acetazolamide: One of the CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p337)

A Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study of Weight-Reduction and/or Low Sodium Diet Plus Acetazolamide vs Diet Plus Placebo in Subjects With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension With Mild Visual Loss[NCT01003639]Phase 2/Phase 3165 participants (Actual)Interventional2010-01-31Completed

Trial Outcomes

Mean Change in Perimetric Mean Deviation

Treatment Effects on the Primary Outcome Variable, Mean change From Baseline to Month 6 in Perimetric Mean Deviation (PMD) in the Study Eye. Perimetric mean deviation is a measure of global visual field loss (mean deviation from age-corrected normal values), with a range of 2 to -32 dB; larger negative values indicate greater vision loss. (NCT01003639)
Timeframe: base line and 6 months

InterventiondB (Mean)
Acetazolamide1.43
Sugar Pill0.71

Mean Change of Papilledema Grade on Fundus Photography

Mean change at month 6 as compared to baseline. Frisén papilledema grade is an ordinal scale that uses ocular fundus features to rate the severity of papilledema; grade 0 indicates no features of papilledema and grade 5 indicates severe papilledema. (NCT01003639)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 Months
