Panelists discuss how newer medications such as stiripentol have become preferred over traditional options such as valproate for younger patients, emphasizing the importance of assessing treatment effectiveness within 6 to 8 weeks rather than accepting "pretty good" seizure control, and encouraging frequent communication with families to optimize therapy and pursue meaningful seizure reduction rather than settling for partial improvements.

The director of the Brotman Facial Pain Clinic at the University of Maryland talked about emerging preclinical evidence supporting adenosine A3 receptor activation for post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain. [WATCH TIME: 5 minutes]

Panelists discuss how treatment selection for Dravet syndrome requires individualized approaches based on seizure types and patient characteristics, emphasizing the importance of striving for seizure freedom, avoiding contraindicated sodium channel medications, utilizing synergistic drug combinations when appropriate, and simplifying medication regimens to twice-daily dosing with clear timing cues to improve family adherence to complex treatment plans.

The chief scientific officer at Alzheon talked about a symposium on the role of amyloid-beta oligomers in AD and phase 3 clinical data of valiltramiprosate presented at AAIC 2025. [WATCH TIME: 5 minutes]

Panelists discuss how they select between wake-promoting medications (modafinil, armodafinil, and solriamfetol) by explaining neurotransmitter mechanisms to patients while acknowledging that practical factors like insurance coverage and accessibility often drive treatment decisions more than theoretical mechanisms.

Panelists discuss how they approach measuring sleepiness in patients with OSA, with emphasis on trusting patient reports over relying solely on objective tests like the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, which they view as a useful screening tool but inadequate by itself due to patients often minimizing their symptoms.
