Epilepsy

The Department of Neurology Adult Epilepsy Program at Indiana University School of Medicine is the only program in Indiana providing comprehensive management, diagnostic investigations to localize epileptogenic foci (a prerequisite for surgical treatment) and social, psychiatric and psychological evaluation of patients with epilepsy who have medically intractable seizures or complex diagnostic problems. The epilepsy program is certified as a Level 4 comprehensive epilepsy program by the National Association Epilepsy Centers (NAEC), which is the highest level given to institutions. It is recognized as a referral center for the most complex patients requiring SEEG/Brain Mapping—state of the art evaluation and treatment including resection—laser ablation, neuromodulation and epilepsy clinical trials .

Department of Neurology researchers have been national leaders in evaluating new treatment methodologies for epilepsy, notably studies that demonstrated the safety and long-term effectiveness of deep-brain stimulation via implanted devices have provided substantial relief to patients resistant to drug and other surgical approaches.
