prednisone and Cryptogenic Infantile Spasms

prednisone has been researched along with Cryptogenic Infantile Spasms in 43 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Prednisone therapy is a safe and effective adjunctive treatment for epilepsy."5.32Prednisone therapy in pediatric epilepsy. ( Sinclair, DB, 2003)
"We assessed the long-term cognitive and seizure outcomes of 37 patients with cryptogenic infantile spasms (onset, age 3 to 9 months) receiving standardized treatment regimen of high-dose tetracosactide depot, 1 mg IM every 48 h for 2 weeks, with a subsequent 8- to 10-week slow taper and followed by oral prednisone, 10 mg/day for a month, with a subsequent slow taper for 5 months or until the infant reached the age of 1 year, whichever came later."3.72Long-term cognitive outcomes of a cohort of children with cryptogenic infantile spasms treated with high-dose adrenocorticotropic hormone. ( Ariel, R; Danziger, Y; Kivity, S; Lerman, P; Mimouni, M; Shinnar, S, 2004)
"We reviewed the clinical features and laboratory findings of 27 infants with infantile spasms treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone or prednisone during febrile episodes in order to evaluate the incidence of bacteremia, the risk of serious infection, determination of whether serious infections can be identified at presentation and the outcome of febrile episodes."3.68Risk of infection during adrenocorticotropic hormone treatment in infants with infantile spasms. ( Alpert, G; Garty, BZ; Kivity, S; Rachmel, A; Shamir, R, 1993)
"Although West syndrome is well known clinical epileptic syndrome, there is no agreement about the first- and second-line treatments."2.44Update of the medical treatment of West syndrome. ( Chiarelli, F; Coppola, GG; Iannetti, P; Manco, R; Mingione, S; Verrotti, A, 2007)
"Data from published research were extracted and evaluated according to study design, sample size, dosing regimen, outcome measures, and treatment efficacy and safety."2.39Treatment of infantile spasms. ( Casto, DT; Haines, ST, 1994)
"Infantile spasms are classified as a "generalized" seizure disorder in the international classification system, which suggests that the underlying brain abnormality causing the seizures also must be diffuse or generalized."2.38Treatment of infantile spasms: medical or surgical? ( Chugani, HT; Peacock, WJ; Shewmon, DA; Shields, WD, 1992)
"These hormones have an effect on seizures, and seizures have an effect on these hormones."2.38Effect of non-sex hormones on neuronal excitability, seizures, and the electroencephalogram. ( Holmes, GL, 1991)
"Adrenal insufficiency is frequent and can potentially lead to an adrenal crisis in this population."1.72Adrenal insufficiency among children treated with hormonal therapy for infantile spasms. ( Chrestian, N; Doré-Brabant, G; Laflamme, G; Millette, M; Osterman, B, 2022)
" Clinical response in short-term follow-up was independent of prednisone dosage and underlying etiology."1.72Cohort study of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome: etiological analysis and treatment of corticosteroids. ( Cheng, M; Hong, S; Jiang, L; Jiang, Y; Li, T; Liang, X; Liao, S; Luo, Y; Zhong, M; Zou, N, 2022)
"Prednisone therapy is a safe and effective adjunctive treatment for epilepsy."1.32Prednisone therapy in pediatric epilepsy. ( Sinclair, DB, 2003)
"ACTH completely controlled seizures in all patients with infantile spasms and hypsarhythmia and 74% of those with other types of seizures."1.27ACTH and prednisone in childhood seizure disorders. ( Benton, JW; Myers, GJ; Snead, OC, 1983)
"Histidinemia was well-documented through biochemical assays."1.25Infantile spasms associated with histidinemia. ( Cohen, ME; Duffner, PK, 1975)
