The International Conference on Post Traumatic Epilepsy (IC-PTE) is traditionally held every other year. Alternating between North America and Europe, IC-PTE brings together leading clinical and preclinical experts in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and epilepsy to focus on post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) with the goal of determining an actionable plan to design clinical trials aimed at developing preventative therapies and treatments for PTE.
