Clobazam was used as an added treatment in 28 patients with intractable epilepsies: 26 subjects had associated handicaps. A good response was observed during the first two-three months of Clobazam treatment: the reduction in seizure frequency of 73% for partial seizures and 62% for GTCs. A tolerance to Clobazam treatment was observed after the third month of treatment: at the end of the sixth month, the seizure frequency was reduced to 36% for partial seizures and 39% for GTCs. Out of 28 patients 4 were seizure free at the end of the sixth month; we have not found any specific characteristic in these patients. The AA. suggest the possibility of an intermittent use of Clobazam for this type of patients.
