Monitoring at the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke.
Intensive monitoring (prolonged, telemetered EEG recording, video tape recording, and plasma drug level monitoring) has an integral role in the correct diagnosis and treatment of patients with intractable epilepsy or suspected epilepsy. The intensive monitoring unit at the Clinical Epilepsy Section, NINCDS, exemplifies a well-integrated system for clinical epilepsy research. The resulting library of video taped seizures is a valuable resource for teaching and the production of films on epilepsy.
