Sheryl R. Haut
<p>Dr. Sheryl Haut is Director of the Adult Epilepsy Program and Chief of Service, Neurology at Montefiore Einstein. She is the previous Chair of the North American Commission of the International League Against Epilepsy. Her research interests include: the temporal distribution of seizures, with emphasis on seizure clustering; seizure prediction and pre-emption; and alternative therapies for epilepsy. She is currently conducting electronic diary studies of seizure prediction and was the Principal Investigator of the first randomized controlled trial of stress management for refractory epilepsy using smartphone diaries. Dr. Haut has a Masters in Clinical Research Methods, and completed a K23 career development award from the NIH. She maintains an active adult epilepsy practice at Montefiore Medical Center, Moses Division.</p>
Dr. Haut focuses on the special needs of epilepsy patients, such as pregnancy, stress, driving, work-related issues and issues in the elderly.
Dr. Haut's research is focused on seizure clustering; seizure prediction and pre-emption; and alternative therapies for epilepsy.
