The Edward B. Bromfield Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is a level 4 nationally accredited center offering state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments for adults with seizures and offers consultations and advanced treatments for those with uncontrolled epilepsy including those who may be candidates for surgical treatment. We work in a multi-disciplinary team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists, social workers, and a variety of advanced practitioners, all focused on individual patients, especially those with uncontrolled seizures.
We are home to the most advanced brain imaging technologies and other diagnostics, which allow us to understand where seizures originate to guide the best treatment for those with uncontrolled seizures, including those who may be candidates for surgical treatments.
The Edward B. Bromfield Epilepsy Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) is named in memory of the nationally recognized neurologist-epileptologist Edward Barry Bromfield, MD, who founded the program in 1993, to offer the very latest comprehensive services available to patients with epilepsy.
The Bromfield Epilepsy Program offers the full range of medical and surgical treatment options so that patients with even the most complicated, difficult-to-treat conditions, can be helped using leading-edge medical expertise and state-of-the-art technology and facilities.
In most cases, seizures can be well-controlled with anti-seizure medications. However, about one third of patients with epilepsy struggle with seizures that cannot be completely controlled with medications.
The Bromfield Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders Program is committed to continually improve the lives of people with uncontrolled seizures through the discovery of new diagnostics and treatments by conducting clinical research.
