Article Synopsis
- * A scoping review examined the existing literature regarding psychedelics and seizures, analyzing 16 human and 11 animal studies from various databases, which generally suggest that psychedelics do not increase seizure risk in healthy individuals without other drug interactions.
- * However, the findings have limitations in external validity and caution is advised, with future research needed to explore neurobiological factors that may explain the relationship between psychedelics and seizures.
Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate perampanel (PER) when used under real-world conditions to treat people with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) included in the PERaMpanel pooled analysIs of effecTiveness and tolerability (PERMIT) study.
Methods: The multinational, retrospective, pooled analysis PERMIT explored the use of PER in people with focal and generalized epilepsy treated in clinical practice across 17 countries. This subgroup analysis included PERMIT participants with IGE.
Purpose: The use of invasive EEG (iEEG) recordings before epilepsy surgery has increased as more complex focal epilepsies are evaluated. Psychotic symptoms (PS) during iEEG have been scarcely reviewed. We aim to report our series of patients with psychotic symptoms (PS) brought about by cortical stimulation (CS) and to identify triggers.
