First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study follows 300 adults with focal epilepsy who are starting an additional anti-seizure medication (ASM) alongside their current treatment. Researchers will track changes in seizure frequency and quality of life over 12 months in everyday clinical settings. The goal is to see how well these add-on drugs work outside of strict trial conditions.
