Gabapentin add-on treatment for drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

CONCLUSIONS: Gabapentin has efficacy as an add-on treatment in people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. However, the trials reviewed were of relatively short duration and provide no evidence for the long-term efficacy of gabapentin beyond a three-month period. The results cannot be extrapolated to monotherapy or to people with other epilepsy types. PMID: 30357813 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
