The brainstem auditory evoked potentials of 84 epileptic patients in chronic monotherapy with carbamazepine (n = 36), phenobarbital (n = 19), Na-valproate (n = 20) or progabide (n = 9) were studied. The mean values of I-III and I-V interpeak latencies (IPLs) were respectively 2.16 +/- 0.11 and 4.03 +/- 0.17 in the control group, 2.31 +/- 0.09 and 4.17 +/- 0.16 in the valproic group, 2.30 +/- 0.17 and 4.19 +/- 0.20 in the carbamazepine group, 2.17 +/- 0.16 and 4.10 +/- 0.18 in the phenobarbital group and 2.16 +/- 0.11 and 4.12 +/- 0.17 in the progabide group. The prolongation of I-III and I-V IPLs was statistically significant only for the valproic acid and carbamazepine groups. Neither duration of the epilepsy and treatment and frequency of seizures nor the serum drug levels were correlated with I-V IPL values.

D010634 Phenobarbital A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.

D002220 Carbamazepine A dibenzazepine that acts as a sodium channel blocker. It is used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of grand mal and psychomotor or focal SEIZURES. It may also be used in the management of BIPOLAR DISORDER, and has analgesic properties.

D004828 Epilepsies, Partial Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
