The primary objective of this research is to study the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic baths as adjunctive therapy for reducing the frequency of seizures in CDKL5 deficiency.
This project aims to include 8 participants, and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermic baths in patients with CDKL5 deficiency through A single-center, preliminary feasibility clinical trial. It is expected to provide new therapeutic options for patients with CDKL5 deficiency with alternative treatment options.

Seizure frequency (SF28)
Seizure frequency (SF28) is defined as seizure count per month (28-day) period. The SF28 is calculated as follows, where D=total number of days for which seizure information is collected for the specific 28-day interval: SF28=(Total number of seizures in D days/D)\*28. In addition, the baseline seizure frequency is defined as SF28 in the baseline period. The seizure frequency in the treatment phase is defined as SF28 per month during the treatment period. Percent change in seizure frequency=100\*(treatment SF28-baseline SF28)/baseline SF28.
Time frame: Up to 3 month after hyperthermic baths
Seizure Responder Rate
The proportion of patients with a ≥ 50% reduction from Baseline in seizure frequency.
Time frame: Up to 3 month after hyperthermic baths
Seizure-free Days
Change in percentage of seizure-free days over the entire treatment phase as compared to the entire baseline phase. The number of seizure-free days was normalized to 84-day baseline and treatment phases for each subject.
Time frame: Up to 3 month after hyperthermic baths
