The long-term effect of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in epilepsy

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Thirty drug-resistant epilepsy patients were given 20-30 mg of clobazam in addition to their other anticonvulsants and followed up for 2-3 years in an open-ended study. Fit frequency was markedly reduced in 43% of patients, few side effects occurred and psychological parameters including the Crown-Crisp questionnaire, showed improvement. It therefore seems that clobazam is a useful additional drug added to conventional anticonvulsant regimes.
