  • -Able to understand the process of the study
  • -Fluent in English
  • -Referred by a Neurologist AND an EEG has been ordered or completed
  • -First-ever seizure cohort
  • -Diagnosis made no more than 3 months before referral
  • -Participants must have only ever had one unprovoked seizure, or cluster of seizures on a single day, that occurred no more than 6 months before referral
  • -Participants can be included with:
  • -Past history of febrile seizures
  • -Past history of provoked seizure(s) as per the ILAE (International League Against
  • Epilepsy) definition 86
  • New diagnosis of epilepsy cohort
  • -At least two unprovoked seizures (over any time frame, the most recent within 6 months of referral)
  • -Diagnosis of epilepsy made within 6 months of referral
  • One seizure within 6 months of referral AND one or more of;
  • -Epileptiform discharges on EEG
  • -Epileptogenic lesion on CT
  • -Epileptogenic lesion on MRI
  • -Untreated or treated with anti-seizure medications (ASM) for less than 6 months at the time of referral
  • Drug-resistant epilepsy cohort
  • -Focal (or combined focal and generalised) epilepsy, with or without likely causative lesion on MRI
  • -At least one seizure in the 6 months prior to referral
  • -Two appropriate drugs in adequate doses have failed due to lack of efficacy (‘appropriate’ and ‘adequate’ as decided by the treating neurologist), including previous and current ASMs (e.g. on 1 current ASM and previously failed 1 or more ASM, or on 2 or more current ASMs)87

排除标准

  • Exclusion criteria
  • -Contraindications to research MRI scanning (including certain metal foreign bodies, pregnancy, severe claustrophobia, etc…)
  • -Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEE)
  • -Moderate or severe intellectual disability
  • -Seizures solely due to provoking medical condition, medication, drug or alcohol use
  • -Age over 65 or under 18 at recruitment.
  • -Severe, intercurrent or progressive illness likely to EITHER
  • -Have a prognosis for survival under 24 months
  • - In the opinion of the investigator will mask the importance to the individual participant of any improvement in their seizures (e.g. severe MS, dementia, etc)
  • -Which leads to moderate disability requiring help with daily activities (equivalent to modified Rankin Score of 3 or more)
  • Note that disability solely due to frequency and severity of seizures is NOT an exclusion criterion.
  • First-ever seizure cohort
  • -More than one unprovoked seizure ever
  • -Febrile seizures with the last seizure before 6 years of age are permitted
  • Newly diagnosed epilepsy cohort
  • -Treated with ASM for epilepsy for more than 6 months at the time of referral.
  • -Treatment with ASM for other indications (e.g. neuropathic pain) is NOT an exclusion criteria
  • Those treated for more than 6 months are no longer Newly Diagnosed”, although they may qualify as Drug-Resistant in some cases
  • Drug-resistant epilepsy cohort
  • -Genetic generalised epilepsy syndromes
  • -Focal and generalised epilepsy syndromes where the focal seizures are associated with photosensitivity, such as idiopathic photosensitive occipital epilepsy, will not be included.
  • Other generalised epilepsy syndromes
  • Healthy Volunteer - Exclusion criteria
  • -Ever had provoked or unprovoked seizure(s)
  • -Febrile seizures with the last seizure before 6 years of age are permitted
  • -Contraindications to research MRI scanning (including certain metal foreign bodies, pregnancy, severe claustrophobia, etc…)
  • -Moderate or severe intellectual disability
  • -Age over 65 or under 18 at recruitment.
  • -Severe, intercurrent or progressive illness likely to EITHER
  • -Have a prognosis for survival under 24 months
  • In the opinion of the investigator would have masked the importance to the individual participant of any improvement if included as an epilepsy participant (e.g. severe MS, dementia, etc)
  • Which leads to moderate disability requiring help with daily activities (equivalent to modified Rankin Score of 3 or more)
  • -Have a condition that would preclude participation in project activities
