Epilepsi
Scope & Guideline
Elevating the conversation around epilepsy through open access.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Research on Epilepsy:
The journal focuses on clinical studies that investigate various aspects of epilepsy, including diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies for different patient populations. - Neurophysiological Studies:
Research highlighting neurophysiological mechanisms underlying epilepsy, such as electroencephalography (EEG) findings and their implications for seizure classification and management. - Impact of Comorbidities:
Exploration of how comorbid conditions, such as mental health disorders and autoimmune diseases, interact with epilepsy and affect patient outcomes. - Innovative Therapies and Interventions:
Studies assessing the efficacy and safety of novel treatments, including pharmacological therapies, surgical approaches, and neuromodulation techniques like vagus nerve stimulation. - Quality of Life and Patient Experience:
Research examining the psychosocial impact of epilepsy on patients and their families, including quality of life assessments and the effects of seizures on daily living.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Epilepsy Care:
A significant trend has emerged in studying the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on epilepsy patients, including changes in seizure frequency, quality of life, and mental health outcomes, highlighting the need for adaptive care strategies. - Genetic and Molecular Insights:
Increasing focus on genetic factors and molecular mechanisms associated with epilepsy, including studies on specific mutations and their implications for personalized treatment approaches. - Psychosocial Dimensions of Epilepsy:
Growing attention towards the psychosocial aspects of living with epilepsy, including patient education, stigma, and the role of family dynamics, indicating a broader understanding of patient care. - Neuroimaging and Advanced Diagnostics:
Emerging themes around the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques to better understand brain alterations in epilepsy, which may lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. - Integration of Technology in Management:
The rise of digital health technologies, such as mobile applications for seizure tracking and telemedicine, reflects a trend towards innovative solutions in epilepsy management and patient engagement.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Case Studies:
There has been a noticeable reduction in the publication of historical case studies, perhaps due to a growing emphasis on contemporary research methodologies and larger cohort studies. - Basic Science Research:
While foundational research remains important, the frequency of studies focusing solely on basic science aspects of epilepsy without clinical application has decreased, as journals prioritize translational research that bridges lab findings with clinical practice. - Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
Research focusing on established antiepileptic drugs without exploring new therapeutic avenues or adjunctive treatments has waned, reflecting a shift towards innovative solutions for drug-resistant epilepsy.
