What's really necessary, Dr. Gaillard says, is real data on efficacy for each of the medications commonly prescribed to
pediatric epilepsy patients — a marked vacuum in research that prevents doctors from using evidence - based reasoning when making medication choices.
Each week, our Comprehensive
Pediatric Epilepsy Team, made up of board certified
pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, speech pathologists, neuropsychologists and neuroradiologists, meets to discuss
patients being evaluated for
epilepsy and make the best treatment decision for each
patient.
