This study evaluates the impact of the pandemic on patients with genetic DEEs and their caregivers in Spain, one of the current hotspots of the pandemic.
This study aimed to determine risk factors and causes for mortality during childhood in patients with infantile spasms (IS).
Genetics
Genetic findings from testing in adults with epilepsy can be useful for therapeutic decision-making, which may lead to better seizure control, ultimately improving quality of life.
Scientists have found that adding cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to standardized medical care gives patients with dissociative seizures longer periods of seizure freedom, less bothersome seizures, and a greater quality of life.
Researchers recommend a statistical approach to individualized seizure cluster identification to account for individual variations in baseline seizure frequency and evaluates statistical significance.
In this first of its kind, big-data analysis of nearly a quarter-million digital conversations about epilepsy using machine learning, this research team found that teenagers engage in an online conversation about suicide more often than adults.
