Detailed Description
This project is a multicenter prospective study. The selected case population was given the oral antiepileptic drug perampanel for 12 months, and the seizure control (complete control, markedly effective, effective, ineffective, worsening), EEG changes (normal, Effective, ineffective), and adverse reactions were analyzed, so as to provide a basis for perampanel monotherapy in children with focal epilepsy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- clinical efficacy after drug treatment: [one year]
Epilepsy seizures: the seizure frequency 3 months before treatment is the baseline, and the maintenance period is compared with the baseline. Complete control: no seizures after treatment; markedly effective: seizure frequency reduced by > 75%; effective: seizure frequency reduced by > 51%-74 %; Ineffective: frequency reduced by ≤50%, worsening: attack frequency increased by 25%.
- EEG changes after drug treatment [one year]
EEG changes: (1) normal EEG (2) abnormal EEG: including epileptiform discharge, background rhythm slowing, epileptiform discharge + background rhythm slowing. EEG judgment: (1) normal: the epileptiform discharge disappeared or the background slowing disappeared (2) effective: the epileptiform discharge was reduced or the background slowing was improved (3) invalid: the epileptiform discharge did not change or aggravate after the drug.
- safety after drug treatment [one year]
Common adverse reactions include: dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, nausea and falls and weight gain.
