Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the stigma surrounding epilepsy, comparing perceptions from two time periods to assess progress in attitudes within the community.* -
- Using structured questionnaires and statistical analysis, the research found that stigma is more prevalent among individuals without medical education and those who misunderstand epilepsy's nature.* -
- Results indicate a significant decrease in negative attitudes towards epilepsy over the past decade, likely due to awareness campaigns, particularly among those with medical training.*
Introduction: Stigma Scale of Epilepsy (SSE), initially developed in Brazil, is accepted worldwide as a sensitive tool for assessing epilepsy-related stigma. We adapted and validated a Georgian version of SSE.
Materials And Methods: The SSE originated in Brazil and was translated into Georgian by three independent experts through forward and backward translation.

Objective: To assess whether implementing the freeware version of the SCORE EEG system (Standardized Computer-based Organized Reporting of EEG) leads to improvement in the quality of clinical EEG reading, and whether EEG reports in SCORE EEG are understood and accepted by the referring physicians.
Methods: We generated EEG reports in the conventional, free-text style and then using SCORE EEG, in consecutive patients referred to routine EEG. We used the Georgian translation in the SCORE EEG Free Edition.
Objective: Our primary goal was to measure the accuracy of fully automated absence seizure detection, using a wearable electroencephalographic (EEG) device. As a secondary goal, we also tested the feasibility of automated behavioral testing triggered by the automated detection.
Methods: We conducted a phase 3 clinical trial (NCT04615442), with a prospective, multicenter, blinded study design.
