Abstract

The effect of listening to Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos (K448) on the frequency of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in the EEGs of four children, ages 5 – 9 years, with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECTS) was studied in a prospective, randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC.
