Summary

This study looks back at medical records of 200 adults with uncontrolled focal seizures to see if adding cenobamate to their treatment reduces hospital stays, ER visits, and doctor appointments. Researchers will compare healthcare use before and after starting cenobamate. The goal is to understand if this drug helps lower the burden on patients and the healthcare system.
