The goal of the current study was to investigate the opinions of adult patients with epilepsy (PWE) with regard to the application of epilepsy surgery for their condition....
We surveyed all the consecutive adult PWE with at least one year history of epilepsy who were referred to our neurology clinics (Shiraz University of Medical Sciences) from September 2022 until Januar...
In total, 393 adult PWE participated in the study; 180 patients (45.8%) expressed that they would be willing to have surgery if their epilepsy doctor told them that brain surgery was guaranteed to sto...
Many patients with epilepsy are willing to have epilepsy surgery if their physician presented epilepsy surgery to them as an established safe and effective treatment option. The important values and p...
Many studies focus on knowledge and attitudes of unaffected people towards epilepsy and people with epilepsy (PWE). The perspective of PWE themselves is much less explored....
We invited PWE in Germany to answer a questionnaire on their knowledge and attitudes towards epilepsy and PWE....
The questionnaire was completed by 230 PWE (median age: 40 years; min./max.: 19/83; 66 % female). Of PWE, 22 % thought that PWE are more helpful, and 10 % thought that PWE are friendlier than other pe...
Although positive attitudes of PWE towards other PWE exist, we also found some reservations calling for psychosocial support. Most PWE had sufficient knowledge about risks of certain activities and ab...
This survey aimed to investigate the opinions of the parents of children with epilepsy with regard to the application of epilepsy surgery for their children....
We surveyed all the parents of children with epilepsy referred to our neurology clinic (Shiraz University of Medical Sciences) in April-July 2022. We collected their opinions about epilepsy surgery ba...

Most parents of children with epilepsy are willing to have epilepsy surgery for their children if their physician presents epilepsy surgery to them as an established, safe, and effective treatment opt...
Next generation sequencing (NGS) has greatly expanded our understanding of genetic contributors in multiple epilepsy syndromes, including focal epilepsy. Describing the genetic architecture of common ...
Targeted panel sequencing was performed on 96 patients with a strong clinical suspicion of genetic focal epilepsy. Patients had previously gone through a comprehensive diagnostic epilepsy evaluation i...
Six VOI in eight (8/96, 8.3%) patients were found in our cohort. Four likely pathogenic VOI were determined in six (6/96, 6.2%) patients, two DEPDC5 variants in two patients, one SCN1A variant in two ...
Sequencing of only five known epilepsy genes yielded a diagnostic result in 6.2% of our cohort and revealed multiple novel variants. Further research is necessary for a better understanding of the gen...
Anhedonia, the impaired ability to experience pleasure, is a core feature of major depressive disorder, one of the most common comorbidities in epilepsy. It is also reported as a clinical feature inde...
A consecutive sample of 211 people (118 female, 93 male, mean age 38.09 years) completed the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) to determine the presence of anhedonia and the Hospital Anxiety and ...
Over one in three of the sample (35%) reported significant anhedonia on the SHAPS. While these patients were more likely to have a diagnosis of depression (p < 0.01), 30% of people without a diagnosis...
While anhedonia is well recognized as a feature of depression, our data suggests that it can be present in up to a third of people with epilepsy who do not have a diagnosis of depression. Cognitive di...
Epilepsy affects over 50 million individuals globally, making it the most prevalent chronic and serious neurological condition. A precise therapeutic strategy is complicated by poor understanding of t...
The incidence rate of epilepsy has importantly increased during the last decades due to the rising expectation of life. Special clinical aspects have to be considered for the correct diagnosis and dif...
