piracetam and Seizures

piracetam has been researched along with Seizures in 396 studies

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

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Partial Seizure Frequency Per Week for the Second Period (up to Three Years From Informed Consent Until the Time of Approval Granted)

"The outcome was also calculated for each 3-month Period but here only the result for the total Second Evaluation Period (Second Period without following 6-weeks Withdrawal Period for withdrawers) is presented.~Change in partial seizure frequency from Baseline (B) over Second Evaluation Period (E) is given as a percentage reduction computed as:~(B values- E values) / B values x 100. Positive values in percent reduction show a decrease from Baseline. Frequency per week of partial seizures = (Total number of partial seizures in a certain Period/number of observation days in the Period) x 7." (NCT01063764)
Timeframe: From Baseline (Week 0-8) until the time of approval granted (up to three years from date of informed consent (Week 0); without 6-weeks Withdrawal Period)

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) During the Second Period (up to Three Years Until the Time of Approval Granted)

An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical product. Incidence of treatment-emergent AEs is reported by the percentage of subjects with at least one treatment-emergent AE. (NCT01063764)

A score per dimension was calculated with each score ranging from 0 to 21 and higher scores indicating higher depression / anxiety. A negative value in change from Baseline shows an improvement in HADS from Baseline. (NCT00464269)

The QOLIE-31-P is an adaptation of the original QOLIE-31 instrument that includes 30 items grouped into seven multi-item subscales - Seizure Worry (5 items), Overall Quality of Life (2 items), Emotional Well-Being (5 items), Energy/Fatigue (4 items), Cognitive Functioning (6 items), Medication Effects (3 items) and Daily Activities/Social Functioning (5 items) - and a Health Status item. The subscale scores, the Total score and the Health Status item score are calculated according to the scoring algorithm defined by the author with scores ranging from 0 to 100 and higher scores indicating better function. A positive value in Change from Baseline indicates an improvement from Baseline. (NCT00490035)

Change From Baseline to the 12-week Treatment Period in Hospital Anxiety Score

The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate anxiety and depression simultaneously. The HADS was developed as a self-administered scale that has been designed to assess the presence and severity of both anxiety and depression. It consists of 14 items that are scored on a 4-point severity scale ranging from 0 to 3. A score per dimension was calculated with each score ranging from 0 to 21 and higher scores indicating higher depression / anxiety. Negative values in Change from Baseline indicate a decrease of HADS from Baseline to Treatment Period. (NCT00490035)

Disability Rating Scale (DRS)

The Disability rating scale (DRS) is frequently used in the rehabilitation literature as a measure of disability. It is a reliable, easily performed test that assesses 8 items (eye opening, verbalization, motor response, feeding, toileting, grooming, level of functioning, employability), and assigns each a numerical score ranging from 0 - 5 based on the category. The domains these 8 items are felt to assess include: alertness, cognition for self-care, dependence, and psychosocial adaptability. The scoring range is from 0-30, with increasing disability levels assigned to higher numerical values. The total DRS is then dichotomized into favorable (disability = none, mild, partial or moderate disability) and unfavorable (disability = moderately severe, severe, extremely severe, vegetative state, extreme vegetative state, death) outcomes. A DRS score of 0-6 was favorable, with any score greater than 6 categorized as unfavorable. (NCT00618436)

Extended Glasgow Outcome Score

This is an 8 point validated scale that measures disability after brain injury. It is assessed through an in person exam or by phone interview at hospital discharge, 3 months and 6 months after injury. The categories are: 1 = dead; 2 = vegetative state; 3 = severe disability, low level; 4 = severe disability, high level; 5 = moderate disability, low level; 6 = moderate disability, high level; 7 = good recovery - low level; 8 = good recovery - high level. Specific questions and activities are assessed to determine into which category the patient falls. (NCT00618436)
