摘要
We evaluated the effectiveness and tolerability of brivaracetam (BRV), an adjunctive antiseizure medication, as a treatment for focal epilepsy in adults. In this prospective study, we enrolled 51 participants from 3 sites across Canada. At 6 months, 68% (26/38) of participants were still taking BRV, among whom 35% (8/23) attained seizure freedom and 48% (11/23) saw their seizure frequency reduced by over 50%. We did not measure any significant change in irritability, quality of life, depression, and anxiety while treated with BRV. Our findings suggest BRV is effective in reducing seizure frequency among adults with focal epilepsy. Nous avons cherche a evaluer l'efficacite et la tolerabilite du brivaracetam, un medicament anticonvulsivant d'appoint utilise chez les adultes dans le traitement de l'epilepsie focale. Dans cette etude prospective, nous avons ainsi recrute 51 participants presents dans trois sites au Canada. Apres 6 mois, 68 % (26/38) des participants prenaient toujours du brivaracetam, parmi lesquels 35 % (8/23) n'avaient plus de crises et 48 % (11/23) avaient vu la frequence de leurs crises reduite de plus de 50 %. A noter que nous n'avons pas mesure de changement significatif dans le niveau d'irritabilite, la qualite de vie, la depression et l'anxiete des patients au cours de leur traitement au moyen du brivaracetam. Nos resultats suggerent donc que ce medicament est efficace pour reduire la frequence des crises convulsives chez les adultes souffrant d'epilepsie focale.
