niacin has been researched along with Epilepsy in 19 studies
Niacin: A water-soluble vitamin of the B complex occurring in various animal and plant tissues. It is required by the body for the formation of coenzymes NAD and NADP. It has PELLAGRA-curative, vasodilating, and antilipemic properties.
vitamin B3 : Any member of a group of vitamers that belong to the chemical structural class called pyridines that exhibit biological activity against vitamin B3 deficiency. Vitamin B3 deficiency causes a condition known as pellagra whose symptoms include depression, dermatitis and diarrhea. The vitamers include nicotinic acid and nicotinamide (and their ionized and salt forms).
nicotinic acid : A pyridinemonocarboxylic acid that is pyridine in which the hydrogen at position 3 is replaced by a carboxy group.
Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

| "In patients with epilepsy, there was insufficient intake of water, fiber, potassium, magnesium and some vitamins (C, E, B12, folate and niacin); suboptimal intake of calories, zinc, calcium, and some vitamins (A, B1 and B6); optimal intake of total fats; and over-intake of proteins, carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron, sodium, and vitamins D and B2." | 4.12 | Nutritional intake and its impact on patients with epilepsy: an analytical cross-sectional study.

| "The case of a mentally handicapped female patient is presented who developed typical pellagra with dermatitis, diarrhoea and mental alteration following a long-term antiepileptic treatment with phenytoin, ethosuximide and valproic acid." | 3.68 | [Pellagra in anticonvulsive therapy]. ( Bartels, H; Hebestreit, H; Mingers, AM; Pannenbecker, J, 1990) |
| "Two female patients, one treated for epilepsy by phenobarbital (PB) and carbamazepine (CBZ), the other suffering from neurosis and free of any drug therapy, were given group B vitamins (riboflavin and nicotinic acid respectively) and showed during the long-term administration of these vitamins 2-3 Hz generalized electro-encephalographic (EEG) abnormalities." | 3.67 | [Appearance of EEG abnormalities in two patients during long-term treatment with B vitamins].
