ABOUT US
The WVU Epilepsy Center offers clinical, research, and educational services to patients with epilepsy.
The WVU Epilepsy Center focuses on providing consultative epilepsy evaluation and treatment of patients. Following treatment, patients typically return to their primary neurologist for long-term treatment and follow-up.
State-of-the art facilities and equipment are available for diagnostic studies and treatment, including intracranial electrode implantation, cortical stimulation studies, specialized EEG procedures, and a full range of structural and functional imaging tests.
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY CLINICS
The center offers adult, pediatric, and multi-disciplinary epilepsy clinics that can help evaluate and manage epilepsy and seizures. In addition, our providers can provide guidance on the latest surgical treatment options for epilepsy and offer care in a supportive environment. Our goal is to help patients manage the disease in order to live a richer and fuller life.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENTS
Every year, about 150,000 Americans are diagnosed with epilepsy, a central nervous system disorder that causes seizures. With treatment, about 70 percent of people with epilepsy can go into remission. Progress in epilepsy testing and new minimally invasive surgical treatments are more effective than ever before.
