Favorable combinations of antiseizure medication with vagus nerve stimulation to improve health-related quality of life in patients with epilepsy
CONCLUSION: The results of our study suggests a favorable effect of the combination of SV2A modulators or slow sodium channel inhibitors with VNS on the HrQoL in comparison to other ASMs. Besides the possible synergistic effects on the seizure frequency, the amelioration of behavioral side effects of SV2A modulators by VNS is an important factor of HrQoL-improvement in these combinations.PMID:38071825 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109562 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

Predictors and associated factors with adverse drug reaction in people with epilepsy
CONCLUSION: Duration of ASM use and duration of epilepsy are the major determinants of ADR in PWE. Effective strategies to identify and reduce ADR should be incorporated into the management of PWE by Health Care Providers (HCPs) to improve their quality of life.PMID:38071827 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109566 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)
