Research on the ketogenic diet for epilepsy and related diet therapies: who it helps, how it works, side effects, and realistic expectations.
A recent study looked at how a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, known as the ketogenic diet (KD), affects seizure frequency in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.
This study looked at how effective the ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) is for children with drug-resistant epilepsy caused by specific genetic mutations.
This study looked at the experiences of a child named Ethan who has Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that starts in infancy.
This study looked at four children who had mutations in a specific gene called BCKDK.
This study looked at the Classic Ketogenic Diet (CKD), a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet used to treat children with epilepsy that does not respond to medication.
Researchers studied the effectiveness of antiseizure medications (ASMs) for treating epilepsy in children with Cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDD), a serious condition that often leads to drug-resistant seizures.
Researchers studied a 12-year-old boy with a history of seizures and other health issues, including abnormal fat distribution and intellectual disability.
