Electrical stimulation is a promising new therapy to reduce seizures, but current methods require inserting wires under the skull or into brain. This project will use direct-current electrical stimulation pulses delivered from scalp electrodes to provide stimulation. The goal is to reduce seizures

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of noninvasive brain stimulation used to induce excitability changes in central nervous system circuits. The basis of tDCS application in stroke patients follows the model of interhemispheric imbalance between the damaged and intact
Study design:
A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted after interviews were done with the parents or care givers of all children, before starting the study to demonstrate the aim, procedures and potential benefits of the study. Children' parents provided written informed consent before
Epilepsy is a condition where individuals are prone to recurrent epileptic seizures; which means a change in the electrical activity of the brain resulting in a change in behaviour or movement. Epilepsy is a symptom of the condition of which there are many different causes, including brain injury
Doose syndrome is a rare epileptic syndrome beginning between ages two and five, characterized by myoclonic-astatic seizures which can be associated with myoclonic seizures, astatic seizures, absences and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. These seizures can be difficult to treat effectively and may
200 patients with pre-eclampsia, 100 with eclampsia and 200 normotensive pregnant controls attending Delivery/emergency department in Kasr Al Ainy hospital will be included in the study (from March 2019 till September 2019). 25(OH) D level will be measured for the three groups.

Background: Cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two major compounds found in the cannabis plant. Reports from patients, families, and the scientific community suggest that CBD (when used as an add-on therapy) decreases the number of convulsive seizures in children and adults
1. Research Assumptions Epilepsy is a frequent group of diseases, affecting 1% of the general population with a higher incidence in children. Anti-epileptic drugs are used as the main treatment. The choice of an anti-epileptic treatment is based on the benefit-risk balance. The purpose of the
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the effective and life-saving treatment modality used in psychiatry for a long time because it responds more rapidly than pharmacological treatment. ECT is used safely in treatment-resistant depression, and in psychiatric disorders such as mania,
