To investigate whether participation in a structured programme of fairly intensive leisure activities increased seizure occurrence.
212 adults with medically-intractable epilepsy were closely monitored for seizure occurrence during an "activities day", i.e. a day consisting of various structured sessions of leisure pursuits (video game play, reading, word puzzles, television, physical exercise), and during other days of relative rest, whilst undergoing prolonged video EEG monitoring.
The relative risk of seizures did not differ significantly during activities days [0.71 (95% CL: 0.38 to 1.33)] compared with days of relative rest.
These findings fail to provide empirical support for the hypothesis that cognitive exertion has an adverse effect on seizure control.
研究参与一项强度适中的结构化休闲活动计划是否会增加癫痫发作次数。
对212名患有药物难治性癫痫的成年人在“活动日”(即由各种结构化休闲活动环节组成的一天,包括玩电子游戏、阅读、字谜游戏、看电视、体育锻炼)以及其他相对休息的日子里进行长时间视频脑电图监测时的癫痫发作情况进行密切监测。
与相对休息的日子相比,活动日癫痫发作的相对风险无显著差异[0.71(95%可信区间:0.38至1.33)]。
这些研究结果未能为认知活动对癫痫控制有不利影响这一假设提供实证支持。
