The Study is an observational, retrospective study which aim is to assess cenobamate's healthcare resources utilization (HCRU) in the management of uncontrolled focal onset seizures. The amin objective is to compare the resource utilization before and after the use of cenobamate. Data from medical charts will be used and inserted into the eCRF from which the analyses will be conducted. Data from 200 patients from 10 sites in 5 countries are included.
