Did you know that in rural Thailand, nearly 79% of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are unaware that surgery is even a treatment option?
A recent multicenter study highlights that many patients (86%) view brain surgery only as a "last resort," often overinterpreting the risks involved .

By improving community education and providing better logistical support, we can move beyond misconceptions and help more patients achieve seizure freedom.

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) include waveseries originating from neural structures along the somatosensory pathway starting from the peripheral nerve along posterior cord–medial lemniscus–thalamus until parietal cortex. SEP analysis provides neurophysiological evidence of thalamocortical network hyperexcitability in typical absence epilepsy.
