piracetam and Epilepsies, Myoclonic

piracetam has been researched along with Epilepsies, Myoclonic in 42 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

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.
