Natural History and Prognosis of Pediatric Epilepsies With Different Etiology
Natural History and Prognosis of Pediatric Epilepsies With Different Etiology: Long-term Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases in Italy, affecting about 500,000 people. Pediatric age represents one of the most affected groups with a consequent significant impact on the quality of life of the families involved. The study aims to monitor the cognitive functions of patients followed at our center in order to determine the main types of pathways and highlight their determinants. The ultimate goal is to define what are the main clinical and instrumental predictors of cognitive function and its variation over time.
