Program Description
Join Drs. Cascino and Lundstrom of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for the first of a two-part video series centered on seizure clusters in epilepsy. In this installment, participants can learn more about sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), the different types of epilepsy as classified by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) guidelines, and the medications available for focal and generalized seizures. This opening segment also covers current unmet therapeutic needs for patients with seizures and the advantages associated with newer therapeutic options. To reinforce the need for newer medications and better standards of care, this video incorporates the lived experiences of Julie: a mother and caregiver to her epileptic daughter, Christina.
