[HT-01] Hot Topics 01 New Frontiers in the Treatment of Epilepsy 2020

Wed. May 19, 2021 2:15 PM - 4:15 PM Room 06 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-2)

Chair：Matsumoto Riki(Division of Neurology, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine),Shigeto Hiroshi(Department of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University)

後援：日本てんかん学会 / 日本臨床神経生理学会

Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases in Neurology. In the last decade, many new generation anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) have emerged in Japan, and contributed as a first or add-on drug to decrease tolerability and promote rational polytherapy. However, about one third of the patients are still intractable to these medications. In this symposium, we would like to arrange an international symposium and introduce the cutting-edge researches that focused on novel treatment of epilepsy. From the medical point of view, the talks cover the state-of-art medical management of epilepsy and iPSC technology to evaluate epilepogenicity and drug efficacy. From the viewpoint of novel surgical therapies, the talks cover responsive neuromodulation using an intracranially implanted device, and thermocoagulation using stereo-EEG.
