Surgeons who observe persistent fluid buildup after disconnecting epileptic and healthy brain areas should think twice before installing low-pressure nonprogrammable drainage shunts, according to a ...

Scientists have found a way to rapidly suppress epilepsy in mouse models by manipulating a known genetic pathway using a cancer drug currently in human clinical trials for the treatment of brain and ...

Abstracts from the American Epilepsy Society (AES) display potential benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) on pediatric patients with epilepsy in tertiary care centers and highlight areas where further ...

A review of randomized controlled trials suggests patients with epilepsy refractory to medical management may benefit from vagal nerve stimulation. A new review suggests that vagal nerve stimulation ...

One of the major causes of intractable epilepsy is a malformation of brain development that occurs in individuals with focal cortical dysplasia or tuberous sclerosis complex. These malformations are ...

A Chinese research team has made an important breakthrough on the application of brain computer interface (BCI) after the country's first closed-loop neurostimulator has proved effective for epilepsy ...

Medical scientists have developed an advanced method for perfectly detecting low-level somatic mutation in patients with intractable epilepsy. Their study showed that deep sequencing replicates of ...

PHILADELPHIA — New research is showing that biofeedback, a technique using the mind to control physiologic responses, such as heart rate and respiration, can reduce seizure frequency. The intervention ...
