ethosuximide and Depression

ethosuximide has been researched along with Depression in 10 studies

Ethosuximide: An anticonvulsant especially useful in the treatment of absence seizures unaccompanied by other types of seizures.
ethosuximide : A dicarboximide that is pyrrolidine-2,5-dione in which the hydrogens at position 3 are substituted by one methyl and one ethyl group. An antiepileptic, it is used in the treatment of absence seizures and may be used for myoclonic seizures, but is ineffective against tonic-clonic seizures.

Depression: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Chronic pain is a heavy burden disease."5.51Ethosuximide improves chronic pain-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. ( Boudieu, L; Bourdier, J; Daulhac, L; Eschalier, A; Kerckhove, N; Mallet, C; Ourties, G, 2019)
" ethosuximide), using specific protocols, prevent the development of spontaneous absence seizures."3.91Antiepileptogenic effects of Ethosuximide and Levetiracetam in WAG/Rij rats are only temporary. ( Caro, C; Citraro, R; Constanti, A; Iannone, M; Leo, A; Nesci, V; Palma, E; Russo, E; Sarro, G; Tallarico, M, 2019)
"The beneficial effects of chronic and early pharmacological treatment with ethosuximide on epileptogenesis were studied in a genetic absence epilepsy model comorbid for depression."3.79Anti-epileptogenesis: Electrophysiology, diffusion tensor imaging and behavior in a genetic absence model. ( Bashyal, C; Blumenfeld, H; Burinov, J; Coman, D; Coquillette, M; Covolato, G; Danielson, N; Edelbroek, P; Frankenmolen, N; Hyder, F; Janeczko, K; Kiemeneij, A; Lüttjohann, A; Mishra, AM; Niermann, H; Schaapsmeerders, P; van Luijtelaar, G; van Rijn, CM, 2013)
" However, zonisamide- and carbamazepine-treated animals had IT values similar to those of controls, but only zonisamide significantly decreased absence seizure development."3.77Effects of early long-term treatment with antiepileptic drugs on development of seizures and depressive-like behavior in a rat genetic absence epilepsy model. ( Citraro, R; Constanti, A; De Fazio, S; De Sarro, G; Di Paola, ED; Perrota, I; Perrotta, I; Russo, E; Scicchitano, F, 2011)
"Chronic pain is a heavy burden disease."1.51Ethosuximide improves chronic pain-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. ( Boudieu, L; Bourdier, J; Daulhac, L; Eschalier, A; Kerckhove, N; Mallet, C; Ourties, G, 2019)
"Consistently, it is possible that absence seizures, depressive-like behavior and cognitive deficit may arise independently and separately in lifetime from the same underlying network disease, as previously suggested for the behavioral features associated with other epileptic syndromes."1.51Cognitive impairment in the WAG/Rij rat absence model is secondary to absence seizures and depressive-like behavior. ( Citraro, R; De Sarro, G; Fedosova, E; Iannone, M; Leo, A; Nesci, V; Russo, E; Sarkisova, K; Tallarico, M, 2019)
"The results suggest that seizure activity is necessary for the expression of depression-like behavioral symptoms and confirm that epileptogenesis can be prevented by early and chronic treatment."1.36Spike-wave discharges are necessary for the expression of behavioral depression-like symptoms. ( Kulikov, MA; Kuznetsova, GD; Sarkisova, KY; van Luijtelaar, G, 2010)
