How much does epileptic treatment need probably
summary
The pathogenesis of epilepsy is more complex, treatment is also correspondingly complex, it is difficult to completely cure in a short time, need long-term treatment, and also do a good job in daily care. The long-term distress of epilepsy not only damages the physical and mental health of patients, but also brings a heavy economic burden to families. For ordinary families, the cost of epilepsy treatment is a big problem. To understand how much epilepsy treatment will cost, we must first know the treatment methods of epilepsy.
How much does epileptic treatment need probably
1. Medication. The general principles of epilepsy drug treatment are: early medication, sufficient dosage, accurate medication and long time. Once the diagnosis of epilepsy is established, medication should be taken immediately to control the seizure. If the dosage is enough to control epilepsy without seizure and drug toxicity, the blood drug concentration can be checked if necessary. According to different types of epilepsy or syndromes, drug selection is determined. General stop attack more than 2 years, can stop drug. Generally, the cost of medicine is less, but if we insist on it for a long time, the cost can not be ignored.
2. Neuromodulation therapy. This is a new epilepsy treatment method, which combines magnetic interference technology, EEG pacing technology, bionic biofeedback technology, and internal environment control technology as one of the modern diagnosis and treatment technology. By regulating the abnormal electrical state of brain, improving the metabolic condition of brain, regulating the function of autonomic nerve, changing the human body environment, inhibiting abnormal discharge of brain. It includes the advanced neuromodulation treatment technology, and avoids the toxic and side effects of drug treatment and various risks in the operation process. As a new technology, the cost may also be relatively high.
3. Diet therapy. Diet epilepsy treatment mainly refers to ketogenic diet therapy. This kind of epilepsy treatment method is through the selection of high fat ratio, low protein and carbohydrate ratio diet formula, so that the body produces ketone body, in order to simulate the body's response to hunger to treat epilepsy and other diseases. For epilepsy which is difficult to control by drugs, ketogenic diet treatment can be tried out. The family members must be strictly in a qualified epilepsy hospital, and strictly implement the diet plan for epilepsy treatment. Because it needs certain technical monitoring and has certain risks, patients and their families should not implement it without authorization. Pay more attention to diet problems in daily life, generally it will not cost a lot of extra money.
matters needing attention
Epilepsy patients should not be too hungry or full, do not overeat. Excessive starvation reduces blood glucose level, and hypoglycemia often induces seizures. After overeating, blood glucose level will rise rapidly, insulin secretion in the body will increase, and glucose metabolism will be accelerated. Blood glucose level will be high first and then low, and fluctuate greatly, which will also induce epilepsy. Overeating and drinking too much will cause excessive gastric stretch, which is also easy to induce seizures. When patients with abdominal discharge, vomiting, a large number of dehydration, should be supplemented with water and electrolyte in time to maintain the balance of water and electrolyte, to avoid inducing epilepsy.
