Why comprehensive epilepsy programs?

Abstract

Epilepsy is a common disorder, affecting more than two million people in the United States. For the majority of these people, medications control seizures and permit them to lead nearly normal lives. But the Commission for the Control of Epilepsy and its Consequences estimates that at least 200,000 Americans suffer seizures more than once a month. The National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke has established comprehensive Epilepsy Programs to stimulate clinical research on all aspects of epilepsy, including prevention, diagnosis, and more effective management.

Long-term seizure outcomes and factors associated with response to adjunctive everolimus in TSC-associated epilepsy.

BACKGROUND: Everolimus, a mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, is increasingly used in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated epilepsy; however, long-term real-world outcomes and factors associated with favorable response remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term seizure outcomes of adjunctive everolimus and explore clinical factors associated with treatment response. METHODS: We retrospectively recruited 21 patients with active TSC-associated epilepsy receiving adjunctive everolimus and assessed seizure outcomes during follow-up. Clinical characteristics were compared between responders and non-responders at 1 year after treatment initiation. RESULTS: Over a median treatment duration of 72 months, responder rates ranged from 53.8% to 64.7%, and seizure-free rates ranged from 33.3% to 41.2%. Responders had fewer involved organ systems at baseline (median 3 vs. 4, p = 0.020) and lower anti-seizure medication burden (median 2 vs. 4, p = 0.045). Younger age at treatment initiation showed a trend toward improved response. CONCLUSION: Adjunctive everolimus was associated with sustained long-term seizure reduction in this real-world cohort. In exploratory analyses, fewer involved organ systems and fewer baseline ASMs were associated with favorable treatment response. These findings require validation in larger prospective cohorts.

Seizures, lateral decubitus, aspiration, and shoulder dislocation: Time to change the guidelines?

The recommendation to position a patient having a seizure on a lateral decubitus is aimed at minimizing the risk of aspiration. The authors reviewed the database of the Epilepsy Foundation Clinic of South Florida for patients with epilepsy treated for pneumonia between May 1999 and May 2000 and patients admitted to two university telemetry units who had dislocation of the shoulder during an epileptic seizure. Over 2 months, 2 of 733 adults with intractable seizures had aspiration pneumonia after a generalized tonic clonic seizure (GTCS). Although no study has specifically addressed the problem of aspiration pneumonia in adults with GTCS, our findings suggest this problem is not common. From the two epilepsy centers, 5 of 806 patients dislocated a shoulder during a seizure. Video recordings showed that these patients were positioned in a lateral decubitus by staff while still having the convulsion. The dislocated shoulder in all cases was on the lower side. The risk of shoulder dislocation in a convulsing patient positioned in a lateral decubitus is less than 1%. Nevertheless, dislocations can result in disabling recurrences and are easily preventable. Because aspiration is more likely in the postictal rather than ictal phase of a GTCS, when oral secretions are not usually increased and there is cessation of respiratory movements, lateral decubitus should only be implemented after cessation of the convulsion, In inpatients (such as those on telemetry), secretions may be better managed by bedside aspiration of the oral cavity.
