Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All individuals over the age of 18 with treatment-resistant epilepsy who have been treated with cenobamate at the Séguin Clinic to date. Since cenobamate has been approved since 2021, data from the previous year will also be included in the analysis to ensure a comparison between the period before and after the medication was introduced. This results in the inclusion of data from the period between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2025.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: None.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Recording of seizure frequency before the start of and during treatment with cenobamate, as well as side effects that occur during the course of treatment. Data collection is conducted retrospectively using routine data from clinical practice (particularly physician reports and laboratory results).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
An assessment of the efficacy and tolerability of cenobamate based on seizure frequency and adverse effects in individuals with intellectual developmental disorders, with the aim of deriving clinically relevant guidance for its use (e.g., dosing or syndrome-specific application).
