Seizure action plans: Management and educational tools in epilepsy care -
Historically, seizure action plans have focused on certain high-risk groups—such as people with drug-resistant epilepsy and people with a history of status epilepticus or seizure clusters. Neurology ...
Northwell study reveals hope for significant seizure reduction in chronic epilepsy -
MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the millions of people worldwide living with severe forms of epilepsy, some do not respond to medication and it can be difficult to find lasting relief. Patients ...
Study: Epilepsy patients benefit from structured 'seizure action plans' -
A new 16-week study of 204 adult epilepsy patients found that 98% of participants believe that all patients with epilepsy should have a seizure action plan (SAP), regardless of seizure status. These ...
Using Seizure-Risk Forecasts to ID Best Time for Epilepsy Monitoring -
NASHVILLE, Tennessee ― Scheduling video-electroencephalography (vEEG) monitoring on the basis of personalized seizure risk forecasts may improve diagnostic accuracy, emerging research suggests. In a ...
Seizure Burden in Resistant Epilepsy May Ease With the Tincture of Time -
Nearly 70% of patients with focal treatment-resistant epilepsy (FTRE) experience fewer seizures over time, new results of a multicenter study showed. However, the improvements occurred independent of ...
New tools map seizures in the brain, improve epilepsy treatment -
Two new models could solve a problem that's long frustrated millions of people with epilepsy and the doctors who treat them: how to find precisely where seizures originate to treat exactly that part ...

Enhancing epilepsy and seizure first aid awareness in polish youth: The impact of targeted educational programs -
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the effectiveness of targeted educational programs in enhancing epilepsy and seizure first aid short-term knowledge among adolescents.
The association between the degree of intraoperative bisynchronization blockade and drop attack freedom after corpus callosotomy in pediatric patients: a comparative cohort study -
CONCLUSIONS: Achieving > 50% intraoperative bisynchronization blockade during CC was strongly associated with improved long-term atonic seizure freedom. These findings support the role of intraoperative EEG as a prognostic marker of effective seizure control.
A patient-derived mouse model reproduces molecular, neurological, and sleep symptoms of SHINE syndrome -
SHINE syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in DLG4, which encodes the postsynaptic scaffolding protein PSD-95. Key symptoms include sleep problems, hypotonia, intellectual disability, neurological disorders, and epilepsy, hence the name 'SHINE.' Here, we developed and characterized a mouse model of SHINE syndrome carrying the patient-derived DLG4V692Wfs*12/+ varian...
Mapping the Phenotypic Spectrum of Occipital Lobe Epilepsy: A SEEG-Defined Network Classification -
CONCLUSIONS: This study proposes a preliminary anatomical-electrophysiological-clinical classification for OLE. Seizure phenotypes in OLE were associated with structured, pathway-specific network recruitment rather than nonspecific spread within this single-center cohort. A phenotype-driven SEEG approach may offer valuable insights into seizure network organization and could inform presurgical ...
Stereo-EEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy: a systematic review -
CONCLUSION: Stereo-EEG navigated RFTC is a promising technique for examination and treatment of patients with DRE. It is safe and effective. However, standardization of coagulation parameters and prospective multiple-center studies are needed to obtain more accurate data.
