Buspirone Therapy for Localized Epilepsy
Background: Buspirone is a drug that is approved for the treatment of anxiety in adults. Studies suggest that buspirone might act on parts of the brain that can increase certain levels of brain activity.
- Conditions
- Anxiety Disorder, Seizures, Epilepsy, Partial Epilepsy
- Trial name
- NCT01496612
- Testing
- Buspirone
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 9 people
