🚨 New Research Alert: Dravet Syndrome & Neurodegeneration 🚨 A groundbreaking study suggests that Dravet syndrome (DS) in adults may have neurodegenerative features, with declining adaptive skills, gait issues, and parkinsonian symptoms linked to age and long-term sodium channel blocker (SCB) use—especially phenytoin. 💡 Why it matters: This is the largest systematic study of adults with DS, raising urgent questions about long-term treatment strategies and potential neurodegeneration. 🔹 Are we addressing the full scope of DS progression? 🔹 Do we need alternative treatment strategies?

Clinical research in the UK is under threat, partly because it takes so long to get a study or trial approved. Here are some of my suggested solutions in this BMJ Opinion piece @NIHR @wellcometrust @UKRI_News bmj.com/content/388/bmj.r469
