To significantly improve the quality of life of patients, the primary goal is to achieve seizure freedom. Unfortunately, 30 % of epilepsies are drug-resistant and seizure freedom is not acheived. Cenobamate is a new anti-seizure medication (ASM) used as a treatment for focal epilepsy in adults whose seizures have not been able to be controlled by two prior ASM. Two previous pivotal studies have showed an unusual seizure-free rate at 21 % and 28 %. A retrospective observational study was conducted to determine the effectiveness, safety and retention of cenobamate in 87 patients with highly focal drug-resistant epilepsy. The responder rate was 48 % with a seizure-free rate of 18 % at the last follow-up, with a mean dose of cenobamate at 216 mg. Adverse events were reported in 74 % patients, the most frequent being somnolence/fatigue and dizziness. No cases of DRESS or death were reported during the study. Cenobamate was discontinued in 34 % of patients, for a lack of efficacy despite an adequate dosage (≥ 200 mg) in 30 %, a poor tolerance in 27 %, for both insufficient efficacy and poor tolerance in 40 %, or for pregnancy plans in 3 %. Cenobamate is an effective and well-tolerated ASM in drug-resistant focal epilepsy and should be tried for highly drug-resistant epilepsy, even if many previous ASM have failed. Moreover, the impressive seizure-free rate leads to introducing cenobamate to all patients before or during the evaluation for surgical candidacy, and in any case before any resective surgery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36558,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy and Behavior Reports","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100782"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144243471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wearing the electrode was also well-tolerated with median VAS scores of 0 and 0.5 at two and fifteen months, respectively.

Repeated measure analysis of variance did not reveal any significant differences in contribution, occurrence or global field power of microstates between baseline and ictal recordings. Microstate duration, however, was significantly different between baseline and seizure recordings with shorter durations of microstates in FDS (p = 0.007).
