valproic acid and Concussive Convulsion

valproic acid has been researched along with Concussive Convulsion in 14 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Valproic acid (VPA) is a first-line antiepileptic drug, though its metabolism is affected by genetic polymorphisms and varies between individuals."1.46Early post-traumatic seizures are associated with valproic acid plasma concentrations and UGT1A6/CYP2C9 genetic polymorphisms in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. ( Hu, J; Sun, Y; Wu, X; Yu, J; Yuan, Q, 2017)
"Some authors suggest that most impact seizures are non-epileptic in origin and hence coined the term "concussive convulsions" for benign impact seizures."1.37[Concussive convulsions: seizure or no seizure?]. ( Burghaus, L; Elger, CE; Fink, GR; Nass, RD, 2011)
"Only when the epilepsy is uncontrolled despite high plasma concentrations which cannot be raised because of side effects, a second drug should be given."1.27[Pharmacotherapy of epilepsy--current problems and controversies]. ( Schmidt, D, 1983)
