GABA treatment for ADHD and seizures in children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding GABA (a substance that affects brain signaling) can help children who have both epilepsy (seizures) and ADHD. If it works, it may reduce symptoms related to either seizures, ADHD, or both.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has epilepsy (a condition with repeated seizures).
- Your child also has ADHD (attention and behavior difficulties).
- Your child should not have epilepsy without also having ADHD.
- The study is only for children with both conditions at the same time.
