Why comprehensive epilepsy programs?
Epilepsy is a common disorder, affecting more than two million people in the United States. For the majority of these people, medications control seizures and permit them to lead nearly normal lives. But the Commission for the Control of Epilepsy and its Consequences estimates that at least 200,000 Americans suffer seizures more than once a month. The National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke has established comprehensive Epilepsy Programs to stimulate clinical research on all aspects of epilepsy, including prevention, diagnosis, and more effective management.
