Brief Summary

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

The idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) have historically included the syndromes childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures alone (GTCA). Recognition of the IGEs is important for clinical care, as it informs diagnosis, prevents unnecessary investigation, allows optimal selection of anti-seizure medications (ASMs), and provides prognostic guidance.

According to the new ILAE definition in 2022, the study aims to describe the clinical features, electroencephalographic, imaging findings and long-term prognosis.

Detailed Description

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

the Long-term prognosis include the rate of drug-resistent epilepsy, relapse after drug withdrawn, common comorbidities such as mood disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities.
