What are the treatment methods of traumatic epilepsy

summary

I have been suffering from epilepsy since I was young. There are many types of epilepsy. What I suffer from is traumatic epilepsy, which brings a lot of trouble to my life. Now I would like to introduce the treatment of traumatic epilepsy.

What are the treatment methods of traumatic epilepsy

First: after the diagnosis is clear, the following questions should be made clear: does antiepileptic drugs need to be used; if drugs need to be taken, the patient's compliance should be considered, and whether they can follow the doctor's advice and insist on taking drugs. It is more harmful to stop taking drugs without seizure than not taking antiepileptic drugs.

Second: the commonly used antiepileptic drugs are carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproic acid, promethidone, phenobarbital, Ethylsuccinate, clonazepam, diazepam, etc., and the new drugs are aminohexenoic acid, lamotrigine, topiramate, etc.; taking drugs also involves how long and when to stop taking them, etc.

Third: the choice of surgery should be careful; traumatic epilepsy has a trend of natural recovery, about 50% of the patients within 5-10 years of onset hope to terminate the seizure, about 2 / 3 of the patients in maintaining the appropriate concentration of antiepileptic drugs, seizures can be more satisfactory control. Regular antiepileptic drug treatment within 2-3 years of surgery, but some people think that early surgery can interrupt epilepsy ↔ Traumatic brain injury can improve the intelligence of patients and accelerate the recovery of traumatic brain injury.

matters needing attention

Because a disease in the process of treatment will appear good or bad reaction, so the treatment or need to choose the right method for their own line, everyone's constitution is not the same, so we must make it clear before treatment.
