Absence epilepsy, a form of epilepsy characterized by nonconvulsive seizures, has proven to be refractive to conventional epilepsy therapies. It has been found that low doses of ganaxolone can be used to reduce absence seizures in subjects with absence epilepsy, particularly pediatric subjects. In addition, ganaxolone therapy is particularly useful in subjects with absence epilepsy characterized by a reduction in tonic inhibition. Low dose ganaxolone is also used to reduce sleep disruptions and to treat sleep disorders in subjects in need of such treatment.
