Pediatric Epilepsy
Treatment with AZD7325 significantly increased the temperature threshold animals were able to withstand without experiencing any seizures during an hyperthermia-induced seizure test.
CBD
A synthetic, non-intoxicating analogue of cannabidiol (CBD) is effective in treating seizures in rats, according to research by chemists at the University of California, Davis.
In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers across 11 centers analyzed data on a relatively new minimally invasive alternative surgery for epilepsy, and discovered changes that could make the procedure more effective in both laser ablation and standard surgery.
SUDEP

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using a decision tree to determine if individuals with epilepsy are fit to drive, according to the Australian standards.
This review finds that to date, few clinical investigations consider the elderly population specifically despite the increased risk factors.
Advanced neuroimaging with artificial-intelligence prediction hopes to transform management of epilepsy, reducing clinical uncertainty and leading to earlier decisions and better selection of effective treatments.
