Gene-STEPS: Shortening Time of Evaluation in Paediatric Epilepsy Services
Recruiting
Overall, this observational cohort study aims too: Implement rapid trio WGS for all children presenting to our health systems with epilepsy onset under 12 months of age. Utilize electronic healthcare records and research databases to unite phenotypic and genomic data and to create a "virtual" registry across all institutions that will promote ongoing discovery. Assess the impact of early genetic diagnosis on epilepsy, developmental, and health economic outcomes through formal longitudinal asses... Read More

Effects of Green Light Exposure on Epileptic Spikes in Patients With Refractory Epilepsy
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary data in advance of a larger clinical trial aimed to test whether a single session of green light exposure can lead to a clinically significant reduction in epileptic spikes in patients with medically-refractory epilepsy. As this is a potentially fragile patient population, the study will test safety and tolerability as well as efficacy.
