Session Description
Shifting the management paradigm for adults with refractory epilepsy

Please join us for this virtual symposium, featuring a panel of experts to discuss creating a paradigm shift in managing adults with refractory epilepsy.
Professor Sisodiya will first explain the importance of obtaining an accurate diagnosis of rare and severe forms of epilepsy in adult patients and how this can be achieved. This will be followed by a presentation by Professor Gil-Nagel on the optimization of antiseizure treatment to improve patient outcomes. The final presentation from Dr. Brandt will describe the importance of encompassing broader patient outcomes, beyond seizures, in the clinical management of patients to maximize their quality of life. The symposium will end with a live Q&A session where we look forward to your questions to support an interactive and engaging discussion!
