Study of Attentional Disorders in Patients Suffering From Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy.

Terminated
Conditions
Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy
Interventions
Other: Neuropsychological screening and high resolution EEG recording
Registration Number
NCT05530109
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Lille
Brief Summary

Attentional disorders have been reported in neuropsychological studies evaluating patients suffering from generalized idiopathic epilepsy, but the data are disparate (in terms of test protocol). We aim to describe attentional and executive function disorder in IGE thanks to the Epitrack scale, validated in this specific population. Our secondary objective is to study the dynamic of cortical activity during an attentional task (the ANT), in order to describe the alteration of cortical networks in epileptic patients presenting with attentional disturbance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Epitrack scale scoreAt 1 month after inclusion

EPITrack-Score shows the performance of attention and executive functions. Higher values indicate a better performance. scale from 9-49 (9 worst score - 49 best score)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
D2-R test scoreAt 1 month after inclusion

cortical source connectivity patterns.

STAI scaleAt 1 month after inclusion

Anxiety-depressive symptoms score The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a self-questionnaire, 20 questions, a score is calculated, ranging from 20 to 80, a high score indicating the presence of anxiety.

Raven's progressive matrice scoresAt 1 month after inclusion

cortical source connectivity patterns.

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scoreAt 1 month after inclusion

Cognitive function was assessed by using MoCA score. Cognitive impairment was considered present when MoCA scores were \<26 .

quality of life using the Qolie-31 self questionnaireAt 1 month after inclusion

Quality Of Life In Epilepsy-Problems questionnaire (QOLIE31-P) questionnaire has been developed specifically to measure the quality of life of patients with epilepsy. The score ranges from 0 to 100 points. Higher scores reflect better quality of life; lower ones, worse quality of life.

BDI-II scoreAt 1 month after inclusion

Anxiety-depressive symptoms score Beck Depressive Inventory Questionnaire (BDI-II) (score), higher scores mean worse outcome, value minimum of 0 maximum 63

High resolution Electro Encephalo Gram functional connectivity markers at rest and during the ANT taskAt 1 month after inclusion

limited number of reproducible resting activity patterns, brain networks involved in the absence of task performance
