Epilepsy Clinic

Spandan’s Epilepsy clinic offers MULTIDISCIPLINARY services to patients with Epilepsy. 

Epilepsy can present alone or with comorbidity like CEREBRAL PALSY, MR,  AUTISM etc. It can also come with genetic and metabolic disorders.

Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological conditions, and 30 to 40% of people with epilepsy have seizures that are not controlled by medication. Patients are considered to have refractory epilepsy if disabling seizures continue despite appropriate trials of two antiseizure drugs, either alone or in combination. At this point, patients should be referred to multidisciplinary epilepsy centers that perform specialized diagnostic testing to first determine whether they are, in fact, pharmacoresistant, and then, if so, offer alternative treatments. 

We conduct workshops for patients. We had a wonderful interdisciplinary workshop under the guidance of renowned neurologist  Dr. Pravina Shah.
