Description
Summary:•EMA patients showed significantly higher impulsivity compared to healthy controls.•EMA patients showed significantly higher impulsivity compared to patients with JME.•Treatment with levetiracetam was associated with higher impulsivity in EMA patients. Eyelid myoclonia with absences (EMA) shares some clinical characteristics with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), in which impulsivity traits have been described. Aim of the study was to evaluate whether EMA patients could present a peculiar behavioural profile. Patients with EMA, JME and healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled.
