First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily vitamin B6 supplement can reduce anger and mood changes caused by the seizure drug levetiracetam in people with brain tumors. Fifty adults with brain tumor-related epilepsy who have been on levetiracetam for 6 weeks to 6 months will take 100 mg of vitamin B6 daily for 8 to 12 weeks. Patients and their caregivers will report mood changes through questionnaires to see if the vitamin helps.

What this could mean

Active substance

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 100 mg daily supplement

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce anger and mood problems caused by levetiracetam in brain tumor patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants and no placebo group, so results may not be conclusive. Vitamin B6 is generally safe, but high doses can cause nerve damage in some people.
