Official Title: Dopaminergic Reactivity In Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy: A "Proof Of Concept" Clinical, Pharmacological And Neurophysiological Study
Brief Summary:
The objective of the present study is to assess dopaminergic reactivity with behavioural markers (i.e. yawning and blinking) in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy compared to matched healthy controls, after injection of either low dose of apomorphine or placebo.
Other parameters will be recorded: biochemical (prolactin, GH) and neurophysiological (Spike-Waves Discharge: SWD rating). Safety parameters will be recorded to assess tolerance.
