International League Against Epilepsy

Last updated • a couple of secsFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The International League Against Epilepsy ("ILAE") was started in 1909. [1] Its goal is to improve the lives of people with epilepsy through research. [1] Today the ILAE has more than 150 national chapters, and over 26,000 members, mostly health care professionals. [2]

The ILAE produced the "2017 ILAE Classification of the Epilepsies", and its more detailed follow-up papers, by a number of specialist clinicians, all published in Epilepsia. This replaces earlier classifications of epilepsy syndromes produced by ILAE. [3]

They run the medical journals Epilepsia, Epilepsia Open, and Epileptic Disorders . [4]
