Subjective memory complaints in patients with epilepsy: The role of depression, psychological distress, and attentional functions
While objective memory dysfunctions have been thoroughly investigated in patients with epilepsy, assessment of subjective memory complaints (SMC) remains challenging. Former studies have demonstrated an impact of patients ’ depressive mood on SMC. However, the impact of more general psychological distress and cognitive functioning in non-memory domains on SMC has only received little attention so far. We therefore sought to determine the factors which may particularly predict SMC in a sample of patients with focal epilepsy (n=99) who accomplished (1) a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, (2) a subjective memory ...

Low dose verapamil as an adjunct therapy for medically refractory epilepsy – An open label pilot study
Epilepsy is a major public health problem that affects 0.6 –1% of the general population (World Health Organization, 2016). Most efforts are targeted to the development of increasing numbers of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) – more than 20 AEDs are used clinically today. However, despite the availability, 30–40% of patients do not respond to pharmacother apy and continue to have “uncontrolled” or “refractory” seizures – a condition termed drug-resistant epilepsy (Kwan et al., 2010).
