clobazam and Deficiency, Mental

clobazam has been researched along with Deficiency, Mental in 17 studies

Clobazam: A benzodiazepine derivative that is a long-acting GABA-A RECEPTOR agonist. It is used as an antiepileptic in the treatment of SEIZURES, including seizures associated with LENNOX-GASTAUT SYNDROME. It is also used as an anxiolytic, for the short-term treatment of acute ANXIETY.
clobazam : 7-Chloro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen at position 1 is substituted by a methyl group, whilst that attached to the other nitrogen is substituted by a phenyl group. It is used for the short-term management of acute anxiety and as an adjunct in the treatment of epilepsy in association with other antiepileptics.

Trial Outcomes

Percent Reduction in Number of Drop Seizures (12-week Maintenance Period).

Percent Reduction in the Number of Non-drop Seizures.

This outcome measure evaluated the percent reduction (average per week) in non-drop Seizures. Non-drop seizures were other seizures not meeting the drop seizure definition. Drop seizures were defined as a drop attack or spell (atonic, tonic or myoclonic) involving the entire body, trunk, or head that led to a fall, injury, slumping in chair, or head hitting surface or that could have led to a fall or injury, depending on the position of the patient at the time of the attack or spell.

Percent Reduction of Total (Drop and Non-Drop) Seizures.

This outcome measure evaluated the percent reduction in average weekly rate in total (drop and non-drop) seizures. Drop seizures were defined as a drop attack or spell (atonic, tonic or myoclonic) involving the entire body, trunk, or head that led to a fall, injury, slumping in chair, or head hitting surface or that could have led to a fall or injury, depending on the position of the patient at the time of the attack or spell. Non-drop seizures were other seizures not meeting the drop seizure definition. (NCT00518713)
