Investigación

Los expertos de Mayo Clinic capacitados en neurología, neurocirugía y otras áreas estudian la genética, los riesgos, las posibles pruebas de diagnóstico y los tratamientos para la epilepsia.

Los investigadores de Mayo Clinic han desarrollado y estudiado muchos instrumentos de diagnóstico y tratamiento para las convulsiones y la epilepsia. Entre ellos, las imágenes por resonancia magnética, el método SISCOM (sustracción de la SPECT ictal corregistrada a la IRM), la electroencefalografía, la dieta cetogénica, la estimulación cerebral profunda, la cirugía para la epilepsia y muchos otros. Lea más acerca de la investigación de Mayo Clinic sobre epilepsia y neurofisiología bioelectrónica.
