Help Us Find Better Treatments and Cures for LGS
What is a Learn from Every Patient Database?
Implemented in 2023, the LGS Learn from Every Patient Database collects medical records about those with LGS to document the impact of LGS on a person’s health over their lifetime. You can use this information to understand which treatments work for LGS, how to manage LGS-associated disorders like sleep, communication, feeding, and behavioral issues, and how LGS evolves with aging.
The LGS Learn from Every Patient Database consists of three phases; you can learn more about each phase below.
Why is an LGS Learn from Every Patient Database Important?
Collecting medical records from every patient and studying the information you provide can help us improve outcomes for individuals with LGS.
This Learn from Every Patient database will create a Natural History Study on LGS. A Natural History Study is a research study that follows individuals over time to see how a disease evolves and how it is treated. As our understanding of the causes and progression of LGS in patients grows, we will learn what works, what doesn’t, and how symptoms change over time. This can eventually lead to better care for patients as well as new discoveries to help us design better treatments and find cures.
Why should you share your data in the LGS Learn from Every Patient Database?
To effectively treat LGS and its associated disorders, we must follow a large number of LGS patients over time. We need to determine their diagnosis, treatment effectiveness, and how their condition evolves as they grow older. The success of this study depends on families sharing records for researchers to identify patterns. The LGS Foundation will advance science and share de-identified, aggregated research data to help you better understand the LGS journey. Let’s change the future of LGS treatment together!
You can participate in one or all of these Phases.
You do not have to complete Phase 1 to be eligible for Phases 2 and 3.
