A team of researchers has found a link between a specific protein in the brain and increased vulnerability to neurodegeneration for individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).

There are many different kinds of epilepsy with symptoms ranging from mild to potentially life-threatening.

Costs for epilepsy medications in the United States are skyrocketing, outpacing inflation and straining federal insurers Medicare and Medicaid, according to new research.

A study of nearly 140,000 people with epilepsy shows a twofold increased risk for death compared with the general population, irrespective of comorbidities or disease severity.

Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders, is characterized by the spontaneous repetition of seizures caused by the hyperactivity of a group of neurons in the brain. Could we therefore reduce neuronal hyperactivity, and treat epilepsy, by reducing the amount of energy supplied to neurons and necessary for their proper functioning? Researchers discovered that, in mice, the seizures were actually…

Prices climbed 277% over 11-year period

Drinking alcohol is linked to an increased risk of new-onset epilepsy, with greater consumption tied to greater risk, but more research is needed before any definitive conclusions can be drawn.

Third-generation, brand-name drugs fuel rising expenses

Pakistan observes International Epilepsy Day on the second Monday of February each year. This year, the day around this common brain disease will be focused on the theme of ending the stigma that...

A new study will explore ties between epilepsy and stress and examine whether complementary, nondrug stress-relieving interventions reduce seizure frequency.

The development of RNA therapeutics for epilepsy will "change everything" because it opens up entirely new druggable targets and address the underlying causes of epilepsy, experts say.

The availability of telehealth for epilepsy care led to significantly fewer missed appointments at a clinic in Kentucky and could be a path to bridging inequities in care nationwide.

Children with neonatal seizures have a higher risk for epilepsy than those without, a cohort study finds.

But more diverse studies have found more genomic links to seizure conditions

A new dose-finding study supported the potential of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor as an alternative to CPAP machines.

Though they impact the brain differently, there is likely a correlation between bipolar disorder and epilepsy.

Updated recommendations outline key healthcare services that dedicated epilepsy centers should provide to deliver the highest quality of care.

Bariatric surgery can raise the risk of developing epilepsy, new research suggests. However, experts note the mechanisms for this association are unclear.

With a nationwide shortage of neurologists, primary care providers must understand the basics of seizure treatment and promote self-management skills in their patients with epilepsy.

A novel investigational antiseizure medication reduces seizure frequency by more than 50% in some patients with treatment-resistant focal epilepsy.
