Summary

The goal of this cross-sectional study is to learn about autonomic cardiac profile changes in children with self-limiting focal epilepsy using levetiracetam and carbamazepine in children with self-limiting focal epilepsy syndrome. The main questions is it aims to answer are:

1. Are heart rate variability and autonomic tone different among healthy controls and children with epilepsy?
2. Does Levetiracetam and carbamazepine affect autonomic tone differently among children with self-limiting focal epilepsy?

Conditions

  • Epilepsy; Syndrome, Seizures of Localized Onset

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

electroencephalogram

Polygraphic derivations generally include an ECG channel, which is standard on EEG recordings, plus an optional EMG channel. Subsequently, the signal was recorded at 512 Hz and inspected using the standard bipolar and referential montages
