lorazepam has been researched along with Epilepsy, Reflex in 3 studies
Lorazepam: A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.
Epilepsy, Reflex: A subtype of epilepsy characterized by seizures that are consistently provoked by a certain specific stimulus. Auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli as well as the acts of writing, reading, eating, and decision making are examples of events or activities that may induce seizure activity in affected individuals. (From Neurol Clin 1994 Feb;12(1):57-8)

The SPR was defined as the number of frequency steps between and including the lower and upper bound at which a generalized electroencephalogram (EEG) epileptiform activity had occurred, whereby subjects were exposed to 14 different frequencies ranging from 2 to 60 flashes per second. The SPR is then an integer score that ranges from 0 to 14 with lower scores representing better outcomes. The primary outcome measure was based on the average Least Squares Mean (LSmean) effect over the first 6 hours postdose. (NCT02564029)

Complete suppression: SPR = 0 in all three eye conditions at the same time point. Partial response: A reduction in SPR of at least 3 units from baseline for at least 3 time points, and no time points with at least 3 units of increase, in the most sensitive eye condition; without meeting the complete suppression definition. No response: Did not meet complete suppression or partial response definitions. (NCT02564029)
