Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Brain Waves in Male Epileptic Patients With Hypovitaminosis D
Sponsor: Bangladesh Medical University
Summary
This is an experimental study (interventional self-controlled trial, pretest-post test design). The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on quantitative EEG in male epileptic patients with hypovitaminosis D. . The main question it aims to answer is: Vitamin D3 supplementation has effect on brain waves in male epileptic patients with hypovitaminosis D. Researcher will compare the effect of Vitamin D3 supplementation on brain waves in male epileptic patients with hypovitaminosis D with their pre-intervention (baseline) condition on brain waves to assess whether there will be any improvement of brain electrical activity by quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG). Participants will: Take Vitamin D3 orally for 8 weeks (50,000IU/week) Visit the medical university after 8 weeks for evaluation of serum 25 (OH) D level and quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) Must bring the empty strips of Vitamin D supplement with them during their visit
