Prevention of Photoparoxysmal Abnormalities by Mozart K448

NCT01363154 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2013-06-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of non-invasive cortical activation by specific patterned auditory stimulation (Mozart K448- Piano Sonata for Two Hands in D Major), in altering or eliminating photoparoxysmal abnormalities. Recent work has indicated that such evoked activity (i.e. by specific music) can result in significant reductions, or even complete termination of epileptiform activity and/or seizures across a broad range of individuals with epilepsy. A hypothesis is generated that specific music activation would beneficially effect photoparoxysmal based epileptiform abnormalities.
