It provides access to cutting-edge therapies and interventions that may not be readily available through standard care. By participating in clinical trials at Summa Health, epilepsy patients can receive innovative treatments that could reduce the frequency and severity of their seizures, leading to improved quality of life. This knowledge will help Summa healthcare professionals make informed decisions when developing personalized treatment plans for people with epilepsy.
