- Description
- This study aims to assess the efficacy of Epidiolex in patients with ESES. ESES is
characterized by sleep potentiated spikes with a spike index greater than 85% (conventional
definition) and 50% (new definition)1. Several drugs including: steroids, intravenous Gama
globulin, Clobazam, other benzodiazepines, Valproic acid, and other anti-epileptic drugs have
been tried with mixed benefits2,3. Cannabidiol (CBD) would provide a novel mechanism of
action to assess for its efficacy in this population. This will be a double-blind
placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial. - Data or Study Types
