The Underrecognized Epilepsy Spectrum: The Effects of Levetiracetam on Neuropsychological Functioning in Relation to Subclinical Spike Production 2/2/09

Date Posted: August 14, 2012

The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment with levetiracetam improves neuropsychological functioning in children and adolescents who have evidence of subclinical spike production associated with attention and learning difficulties. Levetiracetam was generally well tolerated by a group of patients with attention and learning problems that have associated abnormal cortical electrical activity without clinical seizures and associated neuropsychological deficits.
