valproic acid and Epilepsy, Reflex

valproic acid has been researched along with Epilepsy, Reflex in 34 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.

Epilepsy, Reflex: A subtype of epilepsy characterized by seizures that are consistently provoked by a certain specific stimulus. Auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli as well as the acts of writing, reading, eating, and decision making are examples of events or activities that may induce seizure activity in affected individuals. (From Neurol Clin 1994 Feb;12(1):57-8)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The blocking effects of valproate (2-propylpentanoic acid), a standard anti-epileptic drug, on metaphit (1-[1-(3-isothiocyanatophenyl)-cyclohexyl]-piperidine)-induced audiogenic seizures as a model of generalized, reflex audiogenic epilepsy in adult Wistar male rats were studied."3.74Anticonvulsant, but not antiepileptic, action of valproate on audiogenic seizures in metaphit-treated rats.

"Reflex myoclonic epilepsy of infancy is an idiopathic epileptic disorder characterized by myoclonic attacks, with onset in the first 2 years of life precipitated exclusively by unexpected tactile or auditory stimuli."1.32Reflex myoclonic epilepsy in infancy: a benign age-dependent idiopathic startle epilepsy. ( Kontopoulos, E; Vargiami, E; Zafeiriou, D, 2003)
