A randomized, double‐blind comparison of antiepileptic drug treatment in the elderly with new‐onset focal epilepsy

Abstract

In the initial monotherapy of focal epilepsy in the elderly, 1-year retention to LEV was higher compared to CR-CBZ due to better tolerability. Retention of LTG was intermediate and close to LEV, but did not differ significantly from either comparators. NCT00438451, www.clinicaltrials.gov.
