What are the Comprehensive Epilepsy Centers?

Epilepsy centers offers state-of-the-art medical and surgical treatment for the management of epilepsy in adults and children. The centers are equipped with inpatient monitoring units that combine video and EEG monitoring of patient seizure activity. This monitoring assists the physicians in making the correct diagnosis and prescribing the optimal treatment regimen. The centers provide a multidisciplinary team specializing in epilepsy, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, EEG technologists, nurses, neuropsychologists and psychiatrists. Any patient who is not responding to medical therapy is appropriate for referral to a center. Individuals with epilepsy and their doctors should discuss the need to access care at an Epilepsy Center.
