About this research study:

The objective of our research is to learn more about epileptic seizures. Evaluation is offered to qualified patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Epilepsy affects about 1 percent of the U.S. population. The majority of people with epilepsy respond well to medicine, but some do not -- an estimated 25 to 30 percent of epilepsy patients can't control their seizures with medication. Researchers at the NIH are looking for patients who have diagnosed or suspected epilepsy to participate in ongoing studies. The aim is to learn more about optimal clinical care for this subset of epilepsy patients while providing evaluation to those that struggle with this condition.
