Our April MyCP webinar, next Tuesday, April 19, at 8 pm ET, will provide an overview of our initial findings about people with epilepsy and cerebral palsy (CP). The webinar will feature Adam Ostendorf, MD, a pediatric neurologist from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, who is the principal investigator of our epilepsy research within the network. Dr. Ostendorf has used the CPRN Registry and validated outcome measures, to learn more about the quality of life for people with CP and epilepsy.

Dr. Ostendorf was funded by the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Foundation in 2018 to add epilepsy specific support into the CPRN Registry. Since that time, Nationwide and other centers with the CP Research Network, have been gathering data about the experience of children with epilepsy and CP and examining differences in treatment and outcomes for kids with epilepsy and CP versus those without CP. Dr. Ostendorf will share his findings and how these can lead to important research to improve outcomes for children with epilepsy and CP. His findings have ramifications for children and adults alike.
