Abstract

The effect of oxcarbazepine compared to standard antiepileptic drug therapy (carbamazepine and valproate) on cognitive function in 112 children and adolescents (ages 6 to 16 years) with newly diagnosed partial seizures was investigated in a multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-control group study at University Hospital, Bern, Switzerland; University of Maastricht, The Netherlands; and other European centers.
