What method does cure epilepsy have

summary

My younger brother is an epileptic. He had convulsions after a high fever. At the beginning, he had a very serious attack, which was particularly frightening. Now he has been taking medication, and the effect is better after regular treatment for a long time. Today, I'd like to introduce to you the knowledge of how to treat epilepsy.

What method does cure epilepsy have

General drug treatment: 1. Choose safe, effective, cheap and easy to buy drugs according to the type of seizures. ① Phenobarbital 90-300 mg / D was used for major attack. Sodium valproate 0.6-1.2/d, carbamazepine 600-1200 mg / D, etc. ② Complex partial seizures: phenytoin sodium 0.2-0.6/d, carbamazepine 0.2-1.2/d. ③ Absence attack: clonazepam 5-25mg / D, diazepam 7.5-40mg / d. ④ Status epilepticus: diazepam 10-20mg / time is preferred. 2. Starting from the low limit of common dosage, the drug dosage should be gradually increased to ideal seizure control without serious side effects. 3. The times of administration should be determined according to the drug characteristics and seizure characteristics. 4. Generally do not change or discontinue at will, after 2-3 years of complete control of seizures, and EEG is normal, can gradually reduce drug withdrawal. 5. Drug concentration should be monitored regularly and drug dosage should be adjusted timely.

2、 In the treatment of epileptic seizures, antiepileptic drugs have special significance. Antiepileptic drugs can eliminate or reduce epileptic seizures in two ways: one is to affect central neurons to prevent or reduce their pathological transition discharge; the other is to increase the excitation threshold of normal brain tissue, weaken the spread of excitation of lesions, and prevent the recurrence of epilepsy. Generally, the antiepileptic drugs synthesized before the 1960s, such as phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, Ethylsuccinate and sodium valproate, are called old antiepileptic drugs, among which phenobarbital, phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine and sodium valproate are widely used as first-line antiepileptic drugs.

3、 In clinic, in addition to the effective control of seizures, we should actively treat the primary disease for epilepsy with definite etiology. Stereotactic surgery, anterior corpus callosum incision or chronic cerebellar stimulation can be used for intractable epilepsy. No matter what kind of treatment should be taken, we should pay attention to the changes of the patient's condition and adjust the dosage of drugs in time.

matters needing attention

Those with frequent seizures should be confined to indoor activities. If necessary, they should rest in bed and add guardrails to prevent falling injury. If there is an aura of seizures, they should find a safe place to lie flat as soon as possible, and bite gauze or handkerchief between upper and lower teeth. Usually carry disease treatment card with you, so that you can get rescue and treatment in time.
