Vitamin D for epilepsy: fewer seizures, less fatigue
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high doses of vitamin D can help reduce seizures and improve fatigue and quality of life in adults with refractory epilepsy who have not responded well to at least two medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 20 years old or older.
- You must have refractory epilepsy, meaning your seizures are not well controlled even after trying at least two different medications at standard doses.
- Brain scans (like MRI or CT) from the past three years must show no new or worsening brain damage.
- You or a family member must be able to follow the study plan and take vitamin D as directed.
