NCT ID NCT07193277
First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests whether a drug called butylphthalide, already used for stroke, can improve thinking and memory in older adults (ages 60-85) who have both focal epilepsy and mild to moderate cognitive impairment. About 220 participants will take either the drug or a placebo for 48 weeks, while continuing their usual seizure medication. The goal is to see if the drug can slow or reverse cognitive decline, an area where current epilepsy treatments fall short.
