Read our Epilepsy research guide →This trial is tracking children who have undergone surgery for epilepsy at a specialized center in Paris. The goal is to carefully collect information about how well the surgery works, how often seizures happen after surgery, and whether children can reduce their medications over a 3-year period.
Right now, the hospital doesn't have a systematic way of collecting detailed information about how children do after epilepsy surgery. This study aims to fill that gap by carefully documenting outcomes so doctors can better understand which children benefit most from surgery and how to optimize their care afterward.

Your child will have follow-up medical visits with the neurosurgery and neurology team, typically around 3–5 months and 12–18 months after surgery. Doctors will check how often seizures are happening and whether medications can be reduced. After 18 months, your child may continue to be followed at this center or by your local neurologist, but the study will track outcomes for 3 years total.
