- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method the different proportion of responders between groups who get first-line anti-epileptic drugs (intervention) and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (control) trough the study completion, about 14 weeks responders are children who get the reduction of seizure frequency by 50%
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method the description of seizure onset in percentage at baseline phase in the 1st week (before intervention) the data is taken from electronic medical record, seizure onset is categorized into \<5 years, 5-\<10 years, and \>/= 10 years
time to achieve the reduction of seizure frequency by 50% or more among responders during intervention, about 12 weeks time that is counted in week and is divided into 3 categories , 2-\<4 weeks, 4-\<8 weeks and 8-12 weeks
the difference of quality of life between groups who get first-line anti-epileptic drugs (intervention) and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (control) at baseline phase in the 1st week (before intervention) and after intervention in the 14th week quality of life is assessed by validated instrument QOLCE-55. It has 55 questions including cognitive (22 items), emotional (17 items), social (7 items) and also physical (9 items) function. Items are rated on a five-point Likert scale, 0 = very often, 1 = fairly often, 2 = sometime, 3 = almost never, 5 = never. The composite score is the unweighted average ...
the difference of the electroencephalography (EEG) changing between groups who get first-line anti-epileptic drugs (intervention) and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (control) at baseline phase in the 1st week (before intervention) and after intervention in the 14th week The EEG examination is operated two times, at the baseline and post intervention phase, with high density machine (Caldwell Easy III) is done twice, pre- and post-intervention. The machine will operate for about 45 minutes including 5 minutes each for eye-open and eye-close in every subjects. Beginning with acquisition, EEG recordings use standard parameter ...
