Pediatric Epilepsy
Without understanding how the disease creates burden for the patient (or family), it is difficult to know how to assess the impact of treatment.
Pediatric Epilepsy
The data suggests that in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), seizure control is linked to seizure type, possibly allowing a more individualized approach when counselling JME patients.
CBD
Cannabidiol may have beneficial effects on quality of life and mood that are independent of treatment response.
Genetics, Pediatric Epilepsy
This study further expands the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of epilepsies associated with GABRG2 variants.
These results indicate that the seizures of temporal lobe epilepsy can be effectively inhibited by ultrasound stimulation, and this effect is independent of ultrasound type (pulsed or continuous).
Pediatric Epilepsy
Interictal spike propagation is a highly reproducible output of epileptic networks. These findings shed new light on the spatiotemporal dynamics that may constrain the network mechanisms of refractory epilepsy.
Genetics
Even when accounting for deletion carriers diagnosed with epilepsy, reports of seizures and seizure-like symptoms are common.
The National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC) designated the Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute’s Epilepsy Program at Hoag as a Level 4 Epilepsy Center, the highest level of accreditation.
Vitamin D3 in high doses was safe and well-tolerated in patients with epilepsy and never exceeded toxic levels, according to study results published in Epilepsy & Behavior.
