This study was carried out to detect a possible association between endocrine pathology, neurological symptoms, and psychiatric variables in women with epilepsy. One hundred and thirty epileptic women with childbearing potential were recruited into the study. The results obtained showed that catamenial epilepsy was observed mainly in women with reproductive dysfunction and normal thyroid function. There was a reciprocal relationship between thyroid and reproductive pathology. Catameniality interacted with reproductive dysfunction, thyroid state, and focus laterality and determined not only the frequency of certain seizures but also psychopathological constructs of the SCL-90 scale. It was concluded that catameniality should be a topic of further research.

Working years lost in people with epilepsy: a population-based cohort study.
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry
January 2025
National Centre for Register-Based Research, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: We quantify the loss of working years for people with epilepsy compared with the general population and consider variation by aetiology, psychiatric comorbidity, sex and age.
Methods: This population-based cohort study included all individuals aged 18-65 years living in Denmark from 1995 to 2018. Using nationwide registers since 1977, we identified people with epilepsy and obtained information on the main source of income or employment for each year during follow-up from 1995 to 2020.

Background: Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) poses a significant challenge despite advances in stroke treatment. This study compares the efficacy of the novel anti-seizure medication (ASM) Perampanel with the classical ASM Oxcarbazepine in treating PSE.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited PSE patients from September 2022 to January 2024 across multiple hospitals.
Long-term outcome and predictors of vagus nerve stimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy: Real-world evidence from the Korean national hospital consortium.

Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the long-term outcome and prognostic factors of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) using real-world data.
Method: We included 189 DRE patients who underwent VNS implantation between 2005 and 2018 at nine national hospitals in Korea. Seizure-frequency data obtained quarterly one year before and after surgery and annually up to four years after surgery were collected from medical records.

Background: Catamenial epilepsy, which is defined as a periodicity of seizure exacerbation occurring during the menstrual cycle, has been reported in up to 70% of epileptic women. These seizures are often non-responsive to medication and our understanding of the relation between menstrual cycle and seizure generation (i.e.

Department of Neurology, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder with a burden of comorbidities. Knowledge regarding sarcopenia prevalence and associated risk factors in patients with epilepsy remains limited, which prompted us to conduct the present study.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled patients with epilepsy from our epilepsy clinic and controls from the staff at National Cheng Kung University Hospital, Tainan, Taiwan.
