Can a High-Fat diet and therapy tame seizures in rare childhood epilepsy?

This study asks whether adding a medically supervised ketogenic diet to occupational therapy can help children aged 4 to 7 with ARX gene mutations and drug-resistant epilepsy. Twenty children will take part: half follow the ketogenic diet while the other half do not, and both groups receive occupational therapy for 16 weeks. Researchers will track seizure frequency, motor skills, balance, sensory processing, chewing, eating behaviors, and quality of life to see if the diet makes a meaningful difference.
