Study of Attentional Disorders in Patients Suffering From Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy.

University Hospital, Lille33 enrolled

Overview

Attentional disorders have been reported in neuropsychological studies evaluating patients suffering from generalized idiopathic epilepsy, but the data are disparate (in terms of test protocol). We aim to describe attentional and executive function disorder in IGE thanks to the Epitrack scale, validated in this specific population. Our secondary objective is to study the dynamic of cortical activity during an attentional task (the ANT), in order to describe the alteration of cortical networks in epileptic patients presenting with attentional disturbance.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions

Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy

Interventions

Neuropsychological screening and high resolution EEG recordingOTHER

Each participant will be assessed with a battery of neuropsychological tests including Epitrack, the Raven's progressive matrice, the MoCA, the D2-R test, the BDI-II test, the STAI and the Qolie-31. Then, a prolonged EEG recording at rest and during an attentional task (the ANT) will be realized

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Epitrack scale score

EPITrack-Score shows the performance of attention and executive functions. Higher values indicate a better performance. scale from 9-49 (9 worst score - 49 best score)
