There are many different types of epileptic seizures, but all of them spur from batches of overactive neurons. While gene therapies have shown promise in treating epilepsy, most of those developed so ...

A new form of gene therapy designed to treat the most treatment-resistant form of childhood epilepsy appears to reduce seizures in mice. In a research article published Dec. 14 in Brain, researchers ...

Research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine suggests how a newly developed gene therapy can treat Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy, and potentially prolong survival for ...

The burden of Epilepsy care and management has gradually shifted from lack of knowledge and information to the gap in treatment. While Epilepsy is manageable and treatable, it requires a ...

Neurona Therapeutics and UCSF researchers have developed and characterized a cell therapy alternative to treat drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), the most common type of focal ...

The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate nutritional intervention that shifts systemic metabolism toward ketone body production, offering a ...

New POLARIS Phase I/II data presented at ASGCT show ETX101 gene therapy reducing seizures and improving neurodevelopment in children with SCN1A+ Dravet syndrome.

London-based medical device manufacturer LivaNova has announced FDA approval of its most recent Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy (VNS Therapy) System, which will be the smallest and lightest responsive ...

Something like 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy. While the majority of these people are able to use medications to manage and prevent their seizures, around one-third don’t respond well to ...

Compared with children with epilepsy who received assessment-enhanced usual care, those who received MICE therapy demonstrated improved symptoms of emotional and behavioral difficulties. Young ...

Together with colleagues, veterinarian and neuroscientist Sonja Bröer has researched how regenerative cell therapies can contribute to curing or alleviating epilepsy. The work was carried out at ...
