Most people think clinical trials are risky, experimental, or a last resort. The reality is, they’re how every major medical breakthrough becomes possible. CortiCare has been a part of the thousands of EEGs associated with clinical trials. In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, Dr. Katie Coerver breaks down the structure behind clinical trials, from observational studies to interventional research and Phase 1 through Phase 3 testing. This conversation goes beyond definitions. It gets into what patients are actually weighing when they consider participation, why placebo groups are necessary, and how success is measured in diseases, like Alzheimer’s, where slowing progression can be a major win. If you’ve ever wondered how new treatments are developed, tested, and brought to patients, this is the foundation. 👉 Subscribe to The CortiCare Podcast for more conversations on clinical expertise, innovation, and the future of brain health.

In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, host @GilSolanoREEGT sits down with Dr. Ro Elgavish — a leading neurologist, epileptologist, and expert in surgical treatment for epilepsy. With decades of experience building epilepsy programs and helping patients navigate complex neurological diagnoses, Dr. Elgavish shares clear, compassionate insights into:1. A Single Seizure Doesn't Equal EpilepsyExperiencing one seizure doesn't automatically lead to an epilepsy diagnosis. Clinicians assess various factors, including seizure type, underlying causes, and the likelihood of recurrence, before making a definitive diagnosis.2. Second Seizure Solidifies DiagnosisA second unprovoked seizure significantly increases the probability of an epilepsy diagnosis. This recurrence suggests a persistent predisposition to seizures, warranting further evaluation and potential treatment.3. Comprehensive Evaluation is CrucialDiagnosing epilepsy involves a thorough assessment, including patient history, neurological examinations, and diagnostic tests like EEGs and MRIs. These tools help identify seizure patterns and potential underlying causes.4.
