If you have
recently lost a loved one to epilepsy, or know of someone who has, please help SUDEP research by considering, or suggesting,
the donation of blood samples and tissues for further investigation.
For study information, see Ion Channels in Epilepsy.

| If you are aware of a person with epilepsy who suffered death,
SUDEP or near-SUDEP (defined as a cardiac or respiratory arrest that has required active resuscitation) during video-EEG monitoring, please consider participating in an international
study known as the MORTEMUS Project. |
