简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if having children listen to the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K. 448) will lessen the amount of spike discharges on his/her Electroencephalography (EEG). These spike discharges often occur during a 24 hour period in the EEG of a child with Benign Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (BCECTS), or Rolandic Epilepsy. Should there be a decrease in the amount of spike discharges after listening to Mozart's music, this information may lead to new understanding and possible treatments for epilepsy.

入选标准
- •Female or male with BCECTS clinical history, and at least one seizure, as defined by the International League Against Epilepsy.
- •EEG consistent with features of BCECTS: centrotemporal (rolandic) interictal spike discharges (ISDs) with otherwise normal background interictal EEG
- •Screening neurological examination normal (by PI or other pediatric neurologist in the Division of Pediatric Neurology at MUSC)
- •Age 5-12 years, inclusive
- •On less than or equal to 2 anti-epileptic drugs (AED) [Range 0-2 AEDs]
排除标准
- •Currently taking Clonazepam or other Benzodiazepines
- •Inability to complete 12 hour admission and comply with study protocol
- •Prohibited Therapy or Activities During Study Period: Use of computer or video games. Viewing of video tapes will be prohibited due to potential effect of music in videos on underlying process of study.
- •Due to the confounding factor of probably suppression of IEDs after a clinical seizure, any subject experiencing a seizure of any duration 24 hours prior to beginning the study will be excluded from the study.
- •For any subject experiencing a seizure during the study, data analysis will cease from that point onward.
