The Drexel University Comprehensive Epilepsy Program is dedicated to taking care of adult patients with epilepsy. The team consists of dedicated epileptologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, neuroradiologists, nurses, and EEG technicians. The program has an inpatient Epilepsy Monitoring Unit with video and EEG monitoring of patients. Other diagnostic modalities include MRI, SPECT, and PET scanning, neuropsychological testing, and Wada test. Patients who fail to respond to medical therapy are offered surgical options including placement of a vagus nerve stimulator. The program is also involved in various clinical trials related to epilepsy. |
