Neuropharmacology Coursework - Term 2/2024 2000 minimum word essay assignment (excluding references). Review the use and clinical efficacy of NAMED anti-epileptic agents in TREATING NON-EPILEPSY clinical disease conditions. In your review consider and discuss how this alternative use of named anti-epileptic drugs may relate to their mechanism(s) of action. IMPORTANT-note the wording of the assignment !! NOT an essay on use of antiepileptic drugs in treating epilepsy!. GUIDELINES: Alternative uses of anti-epileptic agents: includes clinical use plus research related disease/disorders- so potential future uses as well. Tell me about clinical efficacy-do the drugs work- tell me about clinical trials as well that justify use, or maybe not!. GIVE TRIAL DATA - numbers! Does clinical efficacy relate to known Mechanisms of Action! Anecdotal findings! How to start!! Try Pubmed searching anti-epileptic drugs and disease/disorder and relate (if you can!!) to known mechanisms of action. Search individual drug names and uses. You will find many papers to read - some may be older reviews- that's OK to start! Just read! Go to my Reference list to help BUT do your own research! DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA OR AI! Remember: Google and Science Direct and Pubmed are search engines-not references. Give Harvard style referencing - NOT links!
