Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) remains a challenging condition to understand, diagnose, and manage. Neuroscience/neurology clinicians, including nurses and nurse practitioners (NPs), encounter significant challenges in the management of patients with LGS, due to the severe symptoms and morbidities, diagnostic delays, and therapeutic barriers involved with the condition. Patients with LGS need interdisciplinary collaborative care that includes optimal and long-term management plans to minimize disease burden and maximize quality of life (QoL) over the lifespan.
In this CME Outfitters recorded symposium, expert faculty will discuss the disease burden and impact of LGS on QoL for patients and caregivers, the utilization of diagnostic criteria and distinguishing features of both early- and late-onset LGS to achieve early and accurate diagnosis, and strategies to optimize LGS management across the lifespan of these patients.
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:
