Neurological conditions (diseases, disorders, and injuries) can directly affect Canadians of all ages. As these conditions may lead to symptoms and functional deficits that are often chronic in nature, they can have profound impacts on the life and well-being of affected individuals, their families, caregivers and communities.

This document holds information about a study looking into epilepsy surgery involving MEG (magnetoencephalography) and the costs and barriers of this kind of treatment.

This document outlines protocols and provides guidelines for Epilepsy Monitoring Unit for diagnostic evaluation for epilepsy. It can be used as a guide for neurosurgical centres with EMU beds. The protocols are based on current processes in existing EMUs and represent expectations for the highest standards of epilepsy care.

To support the flow of patients towards appropriate treatment for epilepsy, this document contains a set of guidelines to help with the diagnosis, treatment and referral practices from the moment of a patient’s first seizure.

This survey is the first of its kind in Canada to reveal the impact on the life and health of adults living with epilepsy. We hope its insights provoke thought and action among individuals and governments that will make a difference to the lives of all people touched by the disorder.

Living with Epilepsy: Voices from the Community is unique in Canada. It is the only report to document the community based needs and program preferences of 425 individuals and families living with epilepsy. The report concludes with recommendations of ways we can make investments that will reduce the burden of epilepsy on the individual, the family, the health care team and the Ontario economy.
