Study: NCT06310954

Intervention type: DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
Group type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Early ketogenic diet combined with conventional pharmacotherapy.
Description: This arm of the trial explores the efficacy of an early initiation of the ketogenic diet in conjunction with conventional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) for children with refractory epilepsy. The intervention aims to evaluate the impact on seizure frequency, and inflammatory markers, and identify patient characteristics predicting a better response to the ketogenic diet, to improve overall therapeutic response rates in refractory epilepsy.

Intervention type: DRUG
Group type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Common diet combined with conventional pharmacotherapy
Description: Participants in this arm will receive a standard diet without any ketogenic restrictions, alongside conventional antiepileptic drugs. This comparator aims to assess the standard care's efficacy against the experimental intervention, focusing on seizure control, and inflammatory markers, and identifying patient characteristics associated with treatment responsiveness.We know that drug information for registering clinical information is necessary, but our research design is to add ketogenic diets as a supplementary treatment plan when traditional drug treatment is ineffective. Therefore, in terms of specific drug selection, this is not absolutely the same. Depending on individual differences, the choice of drugs will also vary. Control the number of episodes, time, etc., and everyone uses different drugs. Therefore, we cannot decide on a single drug for comparison like traditional content.
