Research summary

John R. Mytinger's research focuses on infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (also known as infantile spasms or West syndrome), a severe form of childhood epilepsy. His work examines how different treatments (such as hormone therapy, vigabatrin, and combination approaches) compare in effectiveness, including in specific populations like children with Trisomy 21, and he has contributed to developing standardized EEG scoring tools (like the BASED score) used to assess and grade this condition.
