We just had our first seizure! We just got our diagnosis, now what? As the Epilepsy Program Director, Dr. Tran sees many of the patients who arrive, via an ER visit or first seizure. For
NEW pediatric patients, this is a great session!
We just had our first seizure! How can this happen at my age? What caused this? We just got our diagnosis, now what?
Research and technology have given us several new ways to stop seizures using surgery. See the newest
developments from the OR.
Epilepsy surgery may sometimes be your best option for seizure control. This is your chance to have your questions answered by a world class surgical team.
When you are struggling to get seizure control, you need to make sure that you are being offered every option. Doctors with additional
fellowship training are now called Epileptologist. If you are not getting seizure control, it may be time for a second opinion.
Many of us deal with Anxiety, Depression, Migraines and more. This talk explains ways to cope and handle
these issues.
Are your seizures controlled? Too many side effects? Are you getting the most out of your AEDs?
Early intervention in treating seizures is key. What new parents need to know about newborns, infants, and
toddlers with seizures.
Many things can effect your Epilepsy. Women have specific factors that don’t effect men. A female Epileptologist may
be just what you need. Learn about the newest formulas for daily treatment, rescue
meds, and products in the trial stages that could bring us hope for seizure freedom.
When you are struggling to get seizure control, you need to make sure that you are being offered every option. Doctors with additional

The EEG is the road map to our brain. It often helps Doctors decide the specific treatment plan for you. EEG can be a great
tool, but Epileptologists treat the patient, not the EEG data.
This discussion will review actual patient cases where genetics were used to identify, align, and treat genetic Epilepsy.

The EEG is the road map to our brain. It often helps Doctors decide the specific treatment plan for you. EEG can be a great tool, but Epileptolo-
gists treat the patient, not the EEG data.
ESES is an EEG pattern characterized by continuous (or near continuous) spike-wave discharges during NREM sleep. It is often associated with an
encephalopathy (ESES syndrome) characterized by epileptic seizures, global or selective regression of cognitive functions, and motor impairments.
Not all Epilepsy is organic, meaning it doesn’t always “just happen”. Illness, and often head injuries can cause onset Epilepsy.
The treatments are not always the same, and there arespecialists who handle this type of condition.
Epilepsy surgery can be life changing. We like to see the positive outcomes, but often we have deficits, or complications that need continued care. This discussion is focused on patients who have
ALREADY UNDERGONE a surgical procedure, and now need more help!
When you are struggling to get seizure control, you need to make sure that you are being offered every option. Doctors with additional
fellowship training are now called Epileptologist., If f you are not getting seizure control, it may be time for a second opinion.
Technology has changed the options for treating Epilepsy. Hear about using probes to read deep seizure activity, and the robots that allow for
perfect placement and assisting in surgery.
Gain some tools to help your family cope with the stress and issues that arise when dealing with Epilepsy. Seizure control is only part of
what we deal with as parents and caregivers.
This informal discussion will be great for those who are either already using diet therapy, as well as for those with questions before getting started! Meet 2 experts

Chiropractic is dedicated to removing stress from the nervous system, so it is no wonder that epileptic conditions have the potential to respond positively to chiropractic care. A vertebral subluxation is a
misalignment of a vertebra causing nervous system stress. When subluxations are corrected, nervous system function is improved, allowing the body to move towards greater health and function.
