Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAY
Joseph Sirven, MD, epilepsy.com Editor-in-Chief, proudly introduces a series of Power Points, videos and panel discussion presentations looking at how antiepileptic drugs or anti-seizure drugs work.

In its third year, An Evening of Hearts & Hugs is a dinner and auction fundraiser to benefit the Danny Did Foundation and its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures. At the event the Foundation will honor Warren Lammert.

Dr. Pavlova and colleagues from Brigham and Women’s Hospital at Harvard Medical School analyze the pattern of timing of when seizures occur.

Is freedom from seizures better in an experimental group that was treated with surgery versus those treated with continued medication?

One of the most commonly asked question that I often field in my office is the influence of alcohol on seizures and epilepsy. There are basically three fundamental points that one needs to understand about alcohol and epilepsy that I hope you will find useful when considering this question.

Drs. Simms and colleagues from the Federal Drug Administration report an analysis of a case series to characterize the recently identified association of lamotrigine with aseptic meningitis.
This is a series of audio podcasts in which we have the pleasure of having a brief conversation with thought leaders and newsmakers in the field of epilepsy on a range of seizure related topics.
