Webinar Recordings about Drug Resistant Epilepsy Treatment Options

For approximately 1 in 3 people living with epilepsy, seizures cannot be controlled by antiseizure medication. Understanding what options are available to further evaluate your epilepsy and to aid in treating drug resistant seizures is critical to improving outcome and quality of life. Timely referral to an epilepsy center is important. Below are some of the reasons why finding the best care with an epilepsy team of specialists is necessary.

If you have epilepsy or care for or about people with epilepsy, listen to two new webinars focused on evaluation and treatment options for people with uncontrolled epilepsy, also called drug resistant epilepsy. These will help you learn about the journey through an epilepsy center for a surgical evaluation and neurostimulation devices.
