What is the new method of treating epilepsy

summary

I was originally a happy and healthy person, because of the occurrence of epilepsy, everything has changed. It is not easy to find a suitable method to treat epilepsy. Now let's take a look at the new method of treating epilepsy.

What is the new method of treating epilepsy

First of all: drug therapy at home and abroad for the treatment of epilepsy is mainly drug therapy. Epilepsy patients after regular antiepileptic drug treatment, about 70% of patients with their seizures can be controlled, of which 50% - 60% of patients after 2-5 years of treatment can be cured, patients can work and live as normal people. Therefore, the correct and standardized use of drug treatment after the illness is quite critical.

Secondly, after regular antiepileptic drug treatment, about 20% - 30% of the patients were drug refractory epilepsy. Surgical treatment of epilepsy provides a new treatment for this part of patients. It is estimated that about 50% of drug refractory epilepsy patients can be controlled or cured by surgery, which improves the prognosis of refractory epilepsy to a certain extent.

Finally: neuromodulatory therapy neuromodulatory therapy is a new neurophysiological technology, which has become the most promising treatment for epilepsy abroad. At present, it includes: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS); central nervous system electrical stimulation (deep brain electrical stimulation, epilepsy cortex stimulation, etc.); peripheral nerve stimulation (vagus nerve stimulation).

matters needing attention

Epilepsy patients should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the smaller the brain injury, the less the recurrence and the better the prognosis. As epilepsy is a chronic disease, long-term treatment is indispensable, we should pay attention to keep enough patience.
