Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study was to find if there is a possible association and the impact of epilepsy and epileptiform activity in children with SLI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study concentrates on the impact of epileptiform activity for childhood epilepsy on the speech and language disturbances in addition to the associated social, cognitive and intellectual dysfunctions.
