简要总结

Treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may reduce symptoms of seizures but does not influence the course of the disease. Hence, the current study aims to determine the adjuvant role of fenofibrate therapy for 6 months on seizure control, metabolic status, and quality of life in persons with epilepsy (PWE). This study will be a double-blind placebo-controlled trial and will be conducted upon PWE. Patients of both groups will be followed-up at 2 and 6 months of supplementation and all the parameters assessed in the baseline will be re-evaluated. Any adverse events during the intervention will be monitored and reported to corresponding authorities.
