"Revolutionary Subcutaneous EEG Trial Aims to Enhance Epilepsy Diagnosis in Europe"

A groundbreaking clinical trial co-led by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland aims to revolutionize the diagnosis of epilepsy through advanced brain monitoring techniques in Europe.

The trial, which involves multiple sites across Europe, is co-led by Professor Norman Delanty from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and Dr Daniel Costello from Cork University Hospital.
This innovative study explores advanced electroencephalography methods to enhance seizure detection and improve the overall diagnosis and management of epilepsy for patients in Ireland and beyond.
By utilizing subcutaneous EEG technology, researchers hope to provide more accurate brain monitoring, significantly impacting how neurologists diagnose and treat epilepsy in diverse patient populations.

Why It Matters

This trial represents a significant advancement in neurology, potentially transforming epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. Improved brain monitoring techniques could lead to better patient outcomes and more effective management of seizures, addressing a critical need in healthcare.
