What the Ef?!

Why Does This Research Feel Like a Hug? with Dr. Sandi Sam


Listen Later

Ever feel like you keep shouting, "Epilepsy is more than seizures!" but no one’s listening? Medical rockstar Dr. Sandi Lam certainly hears you, which is why she’s spearheading a massive, groundbreaking study focused on Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) that aims to change healthcare forever. 


Dr. Lam shares how she's trying to measure the "unmeasurable," like how treatment affects behavior, communication, and overall quality of life. (It sure does!) She’s also addressing caregiver burden and family support needs.


Tune in to hear why this patient-led science is so revolutionary, and how this study is transforming the future of epilepsy care.

Thanks for ALL the hugs from our community partners Epilepsy Foundation of America, Danny Did Foundation, and Epilepsy Alliance America AND our sponsors Neurelis and SK life science!
