NCT ID NCT01432821
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the brain chemical dopamine behaves in people with idiopathic generalized epilepsy compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers measured yawning and blinking after giving a low dose of apomorphine, a drug that mimics dopamine. The goal was to understand brain differences, not to treat the condition. 31 people took part.
