About the Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Austin Health’s Epilepsy Program through the Epilepsy Research Centre is part of the Neuroscience Department within the Medical and Cancer Services Division at the Austin Health campus, one of the premier centres of epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) & peripheral nerve investigation in Australia. The Epilepsy Research Centre in particular, is a world-renowned leader in the field of epilepsy research and treatment

The Clinical Trials section of the Epilepsy program exists for people with epilepsy as a resource to allow access to experimental treatments for those whose regular treatments have proved unsuccessful, and for health professionals working with patients who have epilepsy. Epilepsy Clinical Trials allows Neurologists in the epilepsy program to learn about new treatments for their patients at Austin Health at a very early phase and to contribute to the development and use of new treatments. This includes unique treatments initiated by the staff of the unit.

Epilepsy Clinical Trials provides new treatments and assessments for hundreds of patients and is actively involved in international and local epilepsy research.
