This hub covers pediatric epilepsy in infants, kids, and teens, including diagnosis, syndromes, development, school plans, and safety. New studies translated into clear takeaways for parents.
Usually when two appropriate medications haven’t controlled seizures.
Many families benefit and it depends on seizure frequency, medications, and learning needs.
Often yes, with smart precautions. Ask your neurologist or epileptologist about your child’s specific risks.
Clusters, prolonged seizures, breathing trouble, new weakness, or major regression.
Researchers studied how effective a specific brain stimulation treatment is for children with difficult-to-treat epilepsy.
Researchers studied a specific type of brain injury called cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) in people with epilepsy.
Researchers studied the indirect costs and burdens faced by families caring for children with severe epilepsy disorders known as developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEE).
Researchers are studying a condition called Cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDD), which affects children and causes severe epilepsy, developmental delays, and other challenges.
This study looked at how effective vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is for treating drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children.
Researchers studied the use of ketogenic therapy, a special diet that can help control seizures, in infants aged 18 months or younger.
This study looked at how a mobile health program based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) could help adolescents with epilepsy become more ready to manage their health as they transition to adult care.
This study looked at the MEFV gene and its possible connection to drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children.
This study looked at different models that predict epilepsy in children and adolescents.
