Epilepsy | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2017

Epilepsy is a heterogeneous condition requiring individualized treatment. Neurologists consider many factors when selecting among the numerous first-, second-, and third-generation anti-epileptic (AEDs) currently available, and must make adjustments throughout a patients’ disease course to achieve optimal seizure control. Understanding the evolving patient journey in epilepsy provides important context about a complex, saturated, and heavily generic market for marketers of branded AEDs and developers planning to enter the market. Our Treatment Algorithms offering provides national patient-level claims data to explore the use of key therapies in both newly diagnosed and recently-treated patients.
