Clinical Study
A Study for People with Epilepsy
Idiopathic generalizable epilepsy (IGE) is a common form of epilepsy. IGE impacts several million people. This disease can increase risks for other health conditions. Research is needed to better understand what people with newly or established IGE diagnoses need to help them improve their quality of life. The information we gain may aid future patients.
