The Edward B. Bromfield Epilepsy Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital brings together internationally renowned neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, social workers, nurse specialists and electroencephalography (EEG) technologists, all with special training and expertise in epilepsy. Brigham and Women’s Hospital is a level IV nationally accredited center that offers state-of-the-art care to those with difficult-to-control refractory seizures. We are home to the most advanced brain imaging technologies available, which allow us to map the brain with precise detail, pinpointing areas where seizures originate, and, thus, perform surgery without disrupting important brain function. We also understand that a condition such as epilepsy can cause tremendous challenges and it is critical to treat the whole patient. In addition to medical care, we provide psychiatric, psychological and social consultation to individuals and their families.
The Edward B. Bromfield Epilepsy Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) is named in memory of the nationally recognized neurologist-epileptologist Edward Barry Bromfield, MD, who founded the program in 1993, to offer the very latest comprehensive services available to patients with epilepsy.
The Bromfield Epilepsy Program offers the full range of medical and surgical treatment options so that we may help patients with even the most complicated, difficult-to-treat conditions, using leading-edge medical expertise combined with state-of-the-art technology and facilities.
In most cases, seizures can be well-controlled with anti-epileptic medications. However, researchers estimate that 30-40 percent of patients with epilepsy struggle with seizures that cannot be controlled with medications
The Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders Center conducts a wide range of clinical research.
