Bone Mineral Density in Pediatric Epilepsy: AED-Specific and Duration of Treatment-Specific Effects
What are the effects of the currently used AEDs on bone mineralization in children and
adolescents between the ages of 8 to 18? This is a pilot observational study using DEXA
scans to measure bone mineral density in 100 patients The primary objective is to collect
preliminary data on bone mineral density, body weight, dietary calcium intake, and activity
level.
