Randomized Controlled TrialPregabalin increases slow-wave sleep and may improve attention in patients with partial epilepsy and insomnia.
Insomnia is a common phenomenon particularly in patients with epilepsy. This study was performed to look at the effects of pregabalin, an anticonvulsant known to increase sleep depth and decrease arousals, in patients with insomnia and well-controlled epilepsy. ⋯ Concurrent treatment with pregabalin improves sleep depth in patients with insomnia and epilepsy and improves daytime attention.
