Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how anti-convulsive medications (Sulthiame and Levetiracetam) affect EEG readings in children with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS).
- The research involved 43 children, measuring EEGs before and during treatment to evaluate changes in spike-wave-index, a marker of EEG activity.
- Results showed that both medications significantly reduced EEG abnormalities, but children with ongoing seizures had notably different EEG characteristics compared to those who were successfully treated.
In recent years, intrathecal baclofen (ITB) has attained an important role in the treatment of severe spasticity and dystonia in children. There are principal differences between the use of ITB in children and its use in neurology and oncology in adults. Here, we present a consensus report on best practice for the treatment of severe spastic and dystonic movement disorders with ITB.

To date it is still unclear whether patients' deficits show a progression on ageing. This unsolved question seems to be an important aspect in the still ongoing debate about how long and how strictly the patients should be maintained on diet.
