512 top medical experts on Generalized Epilepsy across 48 countries and 31 U.S. states, including 400 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Generalized Epilepsy: Recurrent conditions characterized by epileptic seizures which arise diffusely and simultaneously from both hemispheres of the brain. Classification is generally based upon motor manifestations of the seizure (e.g., convulsive, nonconvulsive, akinetic, atonic, etc.) or etiology (e.g., idiopathic, cryptogenic, and symptomatic). (From Mayo Clin Proc, 1996 Apr;71(4):405-14)
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Epilepsy (5,100) and Narrower Categories: Absence Epilepsy (725), Infantile Spasms (1,709), Myoclonic Epilepsies (1,054), Nodding Syndrome (295), Tonic-Clonic Epilepsy (1,246).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 41 including 2 Active, 24 Completed, 8 Recruiting
  5. Synonyms: Convulsive Generalized Seizure Disorder,  Tonic Epilepsy,  Generalized Nonconvulsive Seizure Disorder,  Generalized Seizure Disorder
