Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: The objective of this proposal is to find proof-of-principle for an effect of Lamotrigine on cognitive functioning in adolescents with Neurofibromatosis type 1.
Primary end point(s): Performal IQ (WISC-III)
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and after 26 weeks of treatment.
Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are the evaluation of the safety and the effect of lamotrigine on subdomains of cognitive function, intra-cortical inhibition and LTP-like plasticity.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Secondary end point(s): Visual spatial learning efficacy
- Paired Associate Learning (from the CANTAB, Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery)
Auditory attention
- Score! (from the TEACH, Test of Everyday Attention in Children)
Fine motor coordination
- Grooved Pegboard Test
Attention problems
- Parent reported ADHD-questionnaire (AVL, ADHD Vragenlijst)
Intracortical inhibition
- Short-interval Intracortical Inhibition (SICI), measured by paired pulse stimulation
