    Title: Comparative Study of Selenium and Placebo on Cognitive Function in Epileptic Patients Background: Epilepsy is an important health problem and the second most common neurologic dilemma following stroke . Cognitive problems are common within epileptic patients, resulting from many causes such as brain lesions, frequency of seizures, type of treatment, chronic and severe epilepsy and polytherapy. There is a strong evidence about the evolution of cognitive problems from early stages of the disease. Selenium can be benefical for cognitive function due to its lowering effect on oxidative stress. This study was aimed to evaluate selenium effect on epileptic patients cognitive function. Methods: In this clinical trial ,70 patients with idiopathic generalized tonic_ clonic epilepsy were enrolled through simple randomized single blind method and divided into the case and control groups. Before they receive the treatment ,cognitive evaluation was made by MOCA test; then the case group and control groups received selenium (200 mcg)and placebo respectively. Evaluation via MOCA test was repeated two & four months following the treatment initiation. we compared the effectiveness of selenium and placebo on cognitive function. Data analysis was performed through SPSS 24 ; independent t-test and Chi square test were used for comparing the groups. Results: 70 patients with idiopathic generalized Tonic- clonic epilepsy between 20-65 years of age were evaluated in the two groups; the control group (35 patients)and the case group(35 patients).MOCA test average score was 24.49 in the placebo group(maximum 30 and minimum 19) and 24.91 in the case group(maximum 30 and minimum 16) after 2 month of study. At the end of the 4th month , the MOCA test average score was 24.54 in the placebo group (maximum 30, minimum 19) and 26.31 in the case group(maximum 30,minimum 16). The study findings did not demonstrate any significant difference between selenium and placebo. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that selenium supplement does not improve cognitive function in epileptic patients. it is recommended that future studies consider longer course of trial, higher doses of selenium and measurement of serum levels of selenium.

    عنوان طرح : بررسی اثربخشی مکمل سلنیوم بر عملکرد شناختی بیماران مصروع مقدمه : صرع یک مشکل سلامتی در انسان می باشند و بعد از انواع سکته های مغزی، یک اختلال نورولوژیک شایع در انسان است. مشکلات شناختی در بیماران مصروع به وفور دیده شده که علل آن متعدد است از جمله ضایعات مغزی، فرکانس تشنج ها،نوع درمان،صرع مزمن وشدید و پلی تراپی. شواهدی وجود دارد که اختلال شناختی از ابتدای بیماری وجود دارد.بر اساس مطالعات سلنیوم با کاهش استرس اکسیداتیو در عملکرد شناختی می تواند موثر باشد. این مطالعه با هدف بررسی اثربخشی مکمل سلنیوم بر عملکرد شناختی بیماران مصروع انجام گرفت. روش بررسي : در این کارآزمایی بالینی ۷۰بیمار با صرع ژنرالیزه تونیک کلونیک ایدیوپاتیک با روش تصادفی ساده یک سویه کور انتخاب و به دو گروه تجربی و کنترل تقسیم شدند. قبل از شروع درمان ارزیابی عملکرد شناختی بیماران با تست موکا صورت گرفت. سپس گروه مورد کپسول سلنیوم ۲۰۰میکروگرم و گروه شاهد پلاسبو دریافت کردند. دو ماه پس از درمان و پایان ماه چهار مجددا ارزیابی با تست موکا صورت گرفت. سپس به مقایسه اثر دارو و پلاسبو بر عملکرد شناختی بیماران پرداختیم. آنالیز داده ها با استفاده از نرم افزار آماری SPSS نسخه 24 انجام شد واز آزمونهای تی مستقل و کای اسکوار جهت مقایسه بین گروه ها استفاده شد. نتايج : در این مطالعه ۷۰ بیمار مصروع مبتلا به صرع ژنرالیزه تونیک کلونیک ایدیوپاتیک در گروه سنی۲۰تا ۶۵ سال در دو گروه تجربی (۳۵ نفر) و پلاسبو (۳۵ نفر) مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. میانگین امتیاز تست موکا دو ماه بعد از درمان در گروه پلاسبو ۲۴/۴۹(ماکزیمم ۳۰و مینیمم ۱۹)بود و در گروه تجربی میانگین تست موکا بعد از دو ماه درمان ۲۴/۹۱(ماکزیمم ۳۰و مینیمم ۱۶)بود. چهار ماه بعد از درمان با اتمام طرح میانگین امتیاز تست موکا در گروه پلاسبو ۲۴/۵۴(ماکزیمم ۳۰و مینیمم ۱۹)بود و در گروه درمان میانگین امتیاز تست موکا ۲۶/۳۱(ماکزیمم ۳۰و مینیمم ۱۶) بود.درنتیجه اختلاف معنی داری از نظر عملکرد شناختی بین دو گروه مشاهده نگردید. نتیجه گیری و پیشنهادات: نتایج حاصل از مطالعه ما نشان داد که مکمل سلنیوم با عملکرد شناختی در بیماران مصروع ارتباطی نداشت. پیشنهاد می گردد مطالعاتی با طراحی مبتنی بر افزایش مدت زمان طرح،اخذ نمونه خون از بیماران جهت بررسی سطح سرمی سلنیوم قبل و بعد از اتمام طرح و تجویز دوز بالاتر سلنیوم صورت گیرد. واژه هاي كليدي : سلنیوم، عملکرد شناختی، صرع
