The LGS Research Roundtable Was A Huge Success!

Every year, the LGS Foundation hosts the LGS Research Roundtable at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) meeting. This year's meeting, which was in Nashville, filled us with so much hope as we learned from medical experts about exciting research going on to find better treatments and cures for LGS. Topics included:
The Natural History of LGS
An Update on Medical Treatments for LGS
About a New PCORI-Funded Study Comparing Surgery vs. Medication in LGS
Comparing Corpus Collosotomy to Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in LGS
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) in LGS
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in LGS
Clinical Trial Design in LGS
Measuring the Evolution from Infantile Spasms to LGS

These talks set the stage for our upcoming 2023 LGS Meeting of the Minds: Advancing Clinical Research in LGS, which will take place in September at the University of Maryland and help guide the research funding strategy for the LGS Foundation in 2023 and beyond. We hope you will take a moment to learn more about these important updates in LGS Research and plan to join us for the Meeting of the Minds.
