Özet

Purpose: There are conflicting data regarding the drug dose that is sufficient to achieve seizure control as well as the parameters of seizure remission in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). The present study aimed to identify factors that contribute to seizure control in JME and to evaluate factors associated with JME remission and the efficacy of low-dose valproic acid (VPA) therapy.
