Drug-Resistant Epilepsy: Hot Topics in the Use of Neuromodulation

The goal of this activity is to improve clinicians’ understanding of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and clinical trial findings regarding FDA-approved neuromodulation devices to help clinicians make evidence-based decisions about the use of neuromodulation devices in patients with DRE.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will have increased knowledge regarding:

  • Consequences of drug-resistant epilepsy on patients
  • Factors to consider when selecting an appropriate neuromodulation therapy for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy 
  • Long-term clinical data on the use of neuromodulation in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy
