Journal ArticleDOI
The new antiepileptic drugs: a systematic review of their efficacy and tolerability.
TL;DR: A series of meta‐analyses of randomized placebo‐controlled add‐on trials in which these drugs have been tested in patients with partial epilepsy are reported, providing an estimate of each drug's efficacy and tolerability compared with placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI
New antiepileptic drugs: a systematic review of their efficacy and tolerability.
TL;DR: Each drug was significantly better than placebo at preventing seizures, but none was significantly different from the others in terms of efficacy or tolerability, though the confidence intervals were wide Randomised trials comparing active treatments are needed to further evaluate these drugs.
Reference EntryDOI
Topiramate for drug-resistant partial epilepsy.
TL;DR: Topiramate has efficacy as an add-on treatment for drug-resistant partial epilepsy, however, trials reviewed were of relatively short duration, and provide no evidence for the long term efficacy.
Reference EntryDOI
Gabapentin for drug-resistant partial epilepsy.
TL;DR: Gabapentin has efficacy as an add-on treatment in patients with drug-resistant partial epilepsy, however, trials reviewed were of relatively short duration, and provide no evidence for the long term efficacy of gabapentin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical administration of new antiepileptic drugs: an overview of safety and efficacy
TL;DR: No conclusive evidence of a difference in efficacy or tolerability between these AEDs was derived, even though the apparently most effective agent (topiramate) may be twice as effec tive as the apparently least effectiveAgent (lamotrigine).
