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.

This trial tests an oral cannabidiol medicine (Epidiolex) for children whose seizures are not controlled by other treatments. It aims to see if adding this drug can reduce seizure frequency.
This study looks at how often children with epilepsy also have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which affects focus and behavior. It will help doctors understand the connection so they can support children better.
This trial tests if adding cannabidiol (CBD) to your child's current seizure medicines can reduce seizures. It uses a personalized approach to see if CBD works for each child.
This trial tests if a play-based cognitive behavioral therapy can help children ages 6 to 10 with certain types of epilepsy. It may offer a new way to support their emotional and behavioral well-being.
This study tests whether a specific ADHD medication (Jornay PM) is safe and helpful for children who have both epilepsy and ADHD. Researchers want to see if treating ADHD can improve focus and behavior without making seizures worse.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (adaptive deep brain stimulation) that adjusts in real time to stop seizures in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It's for children who haven't gotten enough help from medications and have frequent drop seizures.
