Currently available techniques show great promise in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities hidden within the EEG in rodent models of epilepsy.
Currently marketed devices are focused primarily record non-EEG signals associated with tonic?clonic seizures, whereas the detection of focal seizures without major motor features remains a clear evidence gap.
SUDEP
This study states that among people with epilepsy and intellectual disability, the lack of a collaborative approach can undermine the safety of this vulnerable population.
Pediatric Epilepsy
May's Epilepsy Research Findings features studies on the impacts of COVID-19 on people with epilepsy and more.
The aim of this study is to validate a unique video algorithm for monitoring nocturnal motor seizures in a pediatric population.
Survey results will help the rare disease research community shed light on the needs of people with rare diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential health crises, in addition to informing future research efforts.
Case studies show five people who found better treatments for neuropsychiatric symptoms from data collected while patients were at home.
Check out the latest news from CURE and beyond for clinicians and researchers in the field of epilepsy.
Genetics
The authors conclude that the gene should be removed from commercial genetic testing panels to reduce the burden of mutations of uncertain significance for healthcare providers, families, and patients with epilepsy.
