Abstract
Tests of cognitive, perceptual, motor, and memory function were administered to patients with refractory seizures before and after intensive treatment on a specialized epilepsy unit. Improved test performance related to withdrawal of barbiturates and an overall reduction in the number of antiepileptic drugs but not with reduction of seizure frequency.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
