Randomized Controlled Trials of Antiepileptic Drugs for the Treatment of Post-stroke Seizures: a Systematic Review with Network Meta-analysis

ConclusionsDirect and indirect comparisons did not find a difference in seizure freedom between the various AEDs, probably because of the small number of patients included. LEV and LTG appears better tolerated than CR-CBZ and LEV seems associated with more AEs than LTG. Further studies are required to provide robust evidence on efficacy and tolerability of AEDs for treating poststroke epilepsy.
