Brief Summary

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

The incident of epilepsy still very high in Indonesia, thus many patients become drug resistant epilepsy. As vitamin D has some anticonvulsant effect, the investigators want to study if an additional dose of vitamin D can help with the therapy responses.

Detailed Description

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

Specifically the investigators want to study about :

1. Correlation between serum vitamin D levels and seizure frequency change after vitamin D treatment
2. Correlation between serum GDNF levels and seizure frequency change after vitamin D treatment
3. Correlation between serum Interleukin-1ß levels and seizure frequency change after vitamin D treatment
4. Responder rate. Percentage of patients change of at least 50% of the seizure frequency
5. Remission rate after vitamin D treatment. Percentage of patients without any seizure (seizure freedom)
6. Effect of vitamin D according to epilepsy type. Responder rate in focal and generalized epilepsy.
7. Effect on Global Assesment of the Severity of Epilepsy (GASE)
8. Effect on Hague Seizure Severity scale (HASS)
9. Effect on Quality of Life in Epilepsy in Children: (QOLCE 55)
