Prevention of generalized tonic-clonic seizures in refractory focal epilepsy: a meta-analysis.
    Epilepsia, 2014, Volume: 55, Issue:11

    Secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (SGTCS) are among the most severe forms of seizures, and the main risk factor for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Whether some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) might be more efficacious than others on SGTCS in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy thus represents an important clinical issue for which no data are currently available.. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of adjunctive AED in which information on efficacy outcomes (i.e., responder rate and/or frequency per 28 days relative to baseline) were available both for all seizure types and for SGTCS. The primary analysis evaluated the efficacy of AEDs on all types of seizure and on SGTCS by comparing the responder rates for AED and for placebo.. Responder rate was available both for all seizure types and for SGTCS in 13 of the 72 eligible trials, evaluating 7 AEDs. Only three AEDs--lacosamide, perampanel and topiramate--showed greater efficacy than placebo. However, confidence intervals of relative risks overlapped for all AEDs but pregabalin, which demonstrated significantly lower efficacy than lacosamide, perampanel, and topiramate. Moreover, there was a nonsignificant trend toward a lower relative risk of responder rate for SGTCS than for all seizure types, which appeared related to a greater response to placebo for this outcome.. Indirect comparison of AEDs using randomized placebo-controlled add-on trials does not support robust differences between AEDs to prevent SGTCS. Alternative designs for evaluation of therapeutic interventions in patients at risk for SGTCS-related complications are required.

[Current possibilities of treatment of generalized convulsive seizures].
    Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii imeni S.S. Korsakova, 2015, Volume: 115, Issue:10

    Current possibilities of treatment of generalized convulsive seizures are presented. Progress in the field of pharmacotherapy of epilepsy allowed to introduce new antiepileptic drugs (AED). Some of them are modified AED with higher efficacy or better tolerability and others represent a generation of new drugs with different mechanisms of action. Perampanel, an agonist of AMPA-receptors, is a new drug approved in more than 40 countries, including Russia. At present, the use of some AED is limited by the high risk of sudden death (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)). SUDEP is a common cause of death directly associated with epilepsy, with the highest frequency in patients with active epilepsy. Subtherapeutic concentrations of SED in the serum of SUDEP patients may be the consequence of inadequate treatment and low compliance to treatment that causes the development of pseudoresistant seizures and, hence, the higher risk of SUDEP. At the same time, AED per se play an important role in the modification of functions of the autonomic nervous system and may induce disturbances of heart rate and conductivity.. Представлены современные возможности лечения генерализованных судорожных приступов. Прогресс в области фармакотерапии эпилепсии позволил внедрить новые противоэпилептические препараты (ПЭП); часть из них является модификацией известных ПЭП, обладающих повышенной эффективностью или лучшей переносимостью, другая представлена поколением новых синтезированных препаратов с иными механизмами действия. Представителем новых препаратов является перампанел - антагонист АМРА-рецепторов, разрешенный к применению более чем в 40 странах, в том числе в России. На сегодняшний день возможность применения некоторых ПЭП ограничена из-за высокого риска внезапной неожиданной смерти при эпилепсии (синдром внезапной смерти пациента с эпилепсией - СВСПЭ). СВСПЭ является распространенной причиной смерти, непосредственно связанной с эпилепсией, и наиболее часто встречается у лиц с активной эпилепсией. Субтерапевтические концентрации ПЭП в сыворотке крови у больных с СВСПЭ могут быть следствием неадекватной терапии, низкой комплаентности больных к регулярному приему ПЭП, что является причиной развития псевдорезистентности приступов и за счет этого повышения риска развития СВСПЭ. В то же время сами ПЭП играют важную роль в модификации функций вегетативной нервной системы, а также могут вызывать нарушения сердечного ритма и проводимости.
