ICYMI: Watch the recording of the International League Against Epilepsy's recent webinar on How to talk about SUDEP Webinar: https://lnkd.in/eacEH36i SUDEP conversations can be challenging, but studies show that patients and families want to know about the risks. A common reason that clinicians do not discuss SUDEP risk is concern for provoking distress, anxiety, and fear. In this webinar, we talk about the importance of discussing SUDEP and give you practical suggestions on how to do so. Providing the facts honestly and openly can strengthen partnerships with patients and family caregivers. #SUDEP #Webinar

ICYMI: The recording of our recent webinar What's metabolism got to do with it? is now available. WATCH: https://lnkd.in/epYbBeyH Today, our best strategy to reduce SUDEP risk is to reduce seizures. Metabolic therapies are some of the earliest documented methods to effectively reduce seizures, but their use fell by the wayside with anti-seizure medications. Are metabolic therapies safe? Are they better than medication? How do metabolic therapies work? Join PAME and our moderator Dr. Kristina Simeone for a conversation about the mysteries and mechanisms surrounding metabolic therapies. Our two guest speakers are Dawn Martenz, a mom who will share her experiences using metabolic therapies for over a decade to treat her daughter with Dravet Syndrome, and Dr. Jeff Buchhalter, a physician-scientist who will share his experiences treating and studying metabolic therapies in the clinic. This webinar is generously sponsored by LivaNova.
