Ketogenic Therapy for Seizures Study
This study is looking at how Ketogenic Therapy, a special diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates, affects seizures. Many children with seizures don't respond well to current treatments, and while Ketogenic Therapy has been used for a long time, doctors are still learning the best way to use it and how it works. This study will gather information on how well Ketogenic Therapy reduces seizures and if it causes any side effects like changes in growth or cholesterol levels. You may be able to join if your doctor has prescribed the ketogenic diet, your lab tests show you can metabolize a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, and you can follow the diet and keep records. The study is planned to include 400 participants aged 0 to 50 years old, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment (Ketogenic Therapy). It aims to enroll 400 participants.
- What's involved
- You would need to be compliant with administering the therapy and with record keeping. The study will also involve lab tests to check your ability to metabolize the diet.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will measure reduced seizures at 2 years.
