Impact of Relationship of Epilepsy and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
In Brief
An observational study evaluating electroencephalography, psychometric scales to diagnosis psychiatric disorders, and 1 other intervention for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Epilepsy. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The most common neuropsychiatric disorder in early childhood is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with evidence of abnormality in structure and function of brain. Epilepsy is one of the commonest comorbidity associated with ADHD with negative outcome on childrens' quality of life, and is considered to be a risk for academic underachievement. These two disorders are highly associated, with more possibility to be a bidirectional relationship. The mechanisms of this comorbidity are unknown. In this association, a difficult challenge is presented since antiepileptic therapy and drugs used to treat ADHD may aggravate the clinical picture of each other. The main objectives are to evaluate this overlap of those disorders, find their complications on child and his family, and to suggest possible solutions to improve the outcome of those children.
