Original Source: Clinical Trial of Light Therapy for Epilepsy
This study is designed to investigate whether light therapy may be an effective treatment for some people with epilepsy. Light treatment is already an established treatment for depression. The chemical systems in the brain that are disrupted when someone becomes depressed, overlap with some of those that can be affected during some epileptic seizures. The investigators have designed this study to see whether light therapy may also lead to a decrease in seizures in people who ha...

New Data on Seizures and Risk Factors in Pediatric ICH
Results show that seizures are very common at presentation in children and neonates with ICH and highlight the importance of EEG monitoring, which found a high incidence of subclinical seizures. Med...
New culprit for epileptic seizures: Some seizures arise in glial cells
