valproic acid and Sleep Wake Disorders

valproic acid has been researched along with Sleep Wake Disorders in 27 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.

Sleep Wake Disorders: Abnormal sleep-wake schedule or pattern associated with the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM which affect the length, timing, and/or rigidity of the sleep-wake cycle relative to the day-night cycle.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The goal of this study was to determine if manifestations of agitation (ie, physical aggression, physically nonaggressive behavior, and verbally agitated behaviors) show different degrees of response to divalproex sodium (extended release or sprinkles) alone or in combination with second-generation antipsychotic agents."2.73Report on an open-label prospective study of divalproex sodium for the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia as monotherapy and in combination with second-generation antipsychotic medication. ( Adkison, L; Ahokpossi, C; Forester, B; Hyde, J; Perez, R; Sribney, W; Vanelli, M, 2007)
"The patient had initial seizures during sleep at the age of 1 year, with the left mouth pouting, left eye blinking and drooling for several seconds, and, sometimes, the left upper-limb flexion and head version to the left, lasting for 1-2 min."1.51Acquired epileptiform opercular syndrome evaluated with real-time transcranial Doppler ultrasound-video-electroencephalogram before and after treatment: a case report. ( Chen, WX; Li, JL; Liang, HC; Liang, W; Peng, BW; Yang, SY; Zhang, FQ, 2019)
"Three study groups: - 1) juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (N=40) [drug naïve (N=20); On sodium valproate (SVA) (N=20)]; 2) symptomatic partial epilepsy (N=40) [drug naïve (N=20); On carbamazepine (CBZ) (N=20)]; 3) healthy controls (N=40) completed 3 standardized sleep questionnaires - Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and NIMHANS Comprehensive Sleep Disorders Questionnaire."1.46Comparing sleep profiles between patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and symptomatic partial epilepsy: Sleep questionnaire-based study. ( Nagappa, M; Nayak, C; Saraswati, N; Sinha, S; Taly, AB; Thennarasu, K, 2017)
" Chronic administration of lithium chloride or valproic acid, two clinically effective mood stabilizers, reverses the majority of these behavioral abnormalities."1.42Mice heterozygous for cathepsin D deficiency exhibit mania-related behavior and stress-induced depression. ( Duan, S; Han, Y; Li, X; Lou, H; Lu, Y; Zhen, X; Zhou, R; Zhu, L, 2015)
"Clonazepam was stopped."1.36Late-onset nocturnal intractable seizure during sleep: what is the origin? ( Liesiene, V; Miliauskas, S; Sakalauskas, R; Zemaitis, M, 2010)
"The treatment with valproic acid (VPA) and clonazepam (CZP), has been very effective."1.30[Atypical benign partial epilepsy of childhood. Clinical follow-up EEG study of 3 patients]. ( Bauzano-Poley, E; Delgado-Marqués, MP; Mora-Ramírez, MD; Rodríguez-Barrionuevo, AC; Tosina-García, E, 1998)
