Hope for HH Board of Directors


FUS WEBINAR FOR PATIENTS & PROFESSIONALS
Focused ultrasound (soundwaves from outside the head) is being studied as a new way of treating a targeted area of the brain that may be causing a person's seizures. The webinar's panelists will talk about this and other potential technologies being studied for treating refractory (difficult to control) seizures and hypothalamic hamartomas (rare brain lesions characterized by gelastic, known as laughing, seizures).
 
Hear from two leading edge doctors:
 
  • Nathan Fountain MD, Professor of Neurology and Director of the F.E.
    Dreifuss Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at the University of Virginia. Read a blog post with Dr. Fountain here.
  • Travis Tierney MD, Pediatric Neurosurgeon with Nicklaus Children's Hospital. Read a blog post by Dr. Tierney here. 
 
People living with epilepsy, their caregivers, and medical providers are invited to participate. There will be time to ask questions following the presentations. However, the speakers will not be able to give individual medical advice.
 
This webinar is being offered through a partnership between the  Epilepsy Foundation and  Hope for Hypothalamic Hamartomas (Hope for HH).
