Epilepsy

Overview

The mission of the NINDS Epilepsy Therapy Screening Program (ETSP) is to facilitate the discovery of new therapeutic agents that address the unmet medical needs in epilepsy. Historically, the ETSP has focused on identifying symptomatic treatments for seizure disorders, but based on recent recommendations from working groups of the National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NANDS) Council, the program is focused on identifying therapies that address drug resistant epilepsy, disease modification and prevention.
