Research examining the prevalence, healthcare access, and disparities related to epilepsy, with a focus on improving public health outcomes.
Trending and Emerging
- Telemedicine and Remote Care:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, leading to increased research on its efficacy and implementation for managing epilepsy, including remote patient monitoring and consultations. - Mental Health Integration:
There is a growing emphasis on understanding and addressing mental health comorbidities associated with epilepsy, including anxiety and depression, and integrating mental health care into overall epilepsy management. - Patient-Centered Care and Self-Management:
Research focusing on empowering patients through self-management strategies, including educational interventions and the development of mobile health applications to improve adherence and quality of life. - Genetic and Biomarker Studies:
An increasing number of studies are exploring genetic factors, biomarkers, and precision medicine approaches that can lead to more targeted therapies and individualized treatment plans for epilepsy patients. - Comorbidities and Quality of Life:
There is an emerging trend in examining the impact of epilepsy on overall quality of life, including the interplay between physical, psychological, and social factors, and how they influence patient outcomes.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacotherapy:
Research specifically centered on older antiseizure medications and their applications has decreased as newer treatments and personalized medicine approaches gain attention. - Generalized Epilepsy Types:
There appears to be a waning interest in studies focusing exclusively on generalized epilepsy types, as the field shifts towards more nuanced and individualized understandings of epilepsy. - Animal Models of Epilepsy:
While still relevant, the volume of studies utilizing traditional animal models for epilepsy research has seen a decline as researchers seek more translational approaches that can better inform human studies.
