The effect of sulthiame on EEG has been studied in epilepsy syndromes of childhood with sleep activation by comparing sleep EEG obtained at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. The aim of the study is to know if an effect is still identifiable after 2 weeks of treatment by performing sleep EEG recordings after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, respectively.
