lamotrigine and Epilepsies, Myoclonic

lamotrigine has been researched along with Epilepsies, Myoclonic in 27 studies

Epilepsies, Myoclonic: A clinically diverse group of epilepsy syndromes characterized either by myoclonic seizures or by myoclonus in association with other seizure types. Myoclonic epilepsy syndromes are divided into three subtypes based on etiology: familial, cryptogenic, and symptomatic.
