Safety and efficacy of rapid withdrawal of antiseizure medications during long-term video-electroencephalogram monitoring in children with drug-resistant epilepsy: A retrospective study.

The PUFH protocol can be used for the rapid withdrawal of ASMs during LTVEM in children with DRE. Using this protocol, ictal EEG patterns can be obtained in a relatively short time for most patients with fewer adverse effects during LTVEM, which may provide meaningful electro-clinical information for presurgical evaluation.
