Effects of Ketogenic Diet on Epilepsy: Metabolism and Quality of Life
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The main objectives of this study are to investigate the influence of the ketogenic diet (KD), standard care for patients assisted in the UW Health Adult Epilepsy Dietary Therapy Clinic, on changes in the frequency and severity of seizures, QoL, energy substrate metabolism, body energy expenditure components, fat mass and fat-free mass in adults with epilepsy. To achieve this objective, twenty-five male and female participants between the ages of 18 and 45 years (or over 18 years for remote participation), who accepted to initiate the KD as a standard of care prescribed by their physician, will be recruited according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Participants will be on study for 6 months.
