Abstract

AbstractThe International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) introduced a classification for seizure types in 2017 and updated the classification for epilepsy syndromes in 2022. These classifications aim to improve communication among healthcare professionals and help patients better describe their condition. So far, regulatory agencies have used different terminology. This paper stresses the crucial need for consistently adopting ILAE terminology in both regulatory processes and clinical practice. It highlights how language plays a significant role in healthcare communication and how standardized terminology can enhance patient comprehension. The ongoing review of guidelines by regulatory bodies offers a timely opportunity. Aligning regulatory terminologies holds the potential to facilitate discussions on future drug development and harmonize practices across diverse regions, ultimately fostering improved care and research outcomes in epilepsy treatment.
