SEIZURE-EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF EPILEPSY
Scope & Guideline
Transforming seizure management with cutting-edge research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Research on Epilepsy:
The journal publishes studies that explore clinical aspects of epilepsy, including treatment efficacy, patient outcomes, and management strategies across different populations. - Genetic and Molecular Studies:
There is a strong emphasis on research related to genetic factors associated with epilepsy, including genotype-phenotype correlations and novel gene discoveries that contribute to understanding the underlying mechanisms of epileptic disorders. - Neurophysiology and Imaging Techniques:
Papers often utilize advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques to investigate brain activity related to seizures, enhancing the understanding of epileptic networks and their dynamics. - Public Health and Epidemiology:
The journal also addresses public health issues related to epilepsy, including epidemiological studies on incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates, as well as the socio-economic impact of the condition. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that integrates insights from neurology, psychiatry, genetics, and public health to provide a holistic view of epilepsy and its management.
Trending and Emerging
- Precision Medicine and Genetic Testing:
There is a growing focus on personalized medicine approaches, including the use of genetic testing to guide treatment decisions and understand individual patient responses to therapy. - Neuroinflammation and Immune Mechanisms:
Research on the role of neuroinflammatory processes in epilepsy is gaining traction, with studies investigating how systemic inflammation may influence seizure activity and treatment responses. - Digital Health and Telemedicine:
The rise of digital health technologies, including telemedicine and remote monitoring, is becoming a significant area of interest, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for patient care. - Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES):
There is an emerging trend in studying the psychological and social aspects of epilepsy, particularly the differentiation and management of PNES, which are often misdiagnosed. - Quality of Life and Patient-Centered Research:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on the quality of life for patients with epilepsy, including the psychosocial impacts of the condition and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving overall well-being.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional anti-seizure medications. As new treatments and management strategies emerge, the emphasis has shifted towards comparative effectiveness and personalized medicine. - Basic Science Research:
Research centered on basic science mechanisms of epilepsy has become less frequent, potentially due to a growing interest in translational studies that directly impact clinical practice. - Generalized Epilepsy Syndromes:
Papers specifically addressing generalized epilepsy syndromes appear to be waning in favor of more detailed investigations into specific genetic or treatment-resistant forms of epilepsy. - Historical Perspectives:
The publication of historical analyses and retrospective studies on the evolution of epilepsy treatment has diminished, indicating a shift towards contemporary and future-focused research. - Surgical Interventions:
While surgical outcomes are still explored, there seems to be less emphasis on traditional surgical techniques, with a growing interest in minimally invasive and novel approaches.
