What does the cure method of epilepsy have

summary

A month ago, I suddenly fell down on the street. When I woke up, I couldn't remember at all. Later, I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with epilepsy, but I was very puzzled. My family didn't have this disease, so why did I get this disease. Let's learn the treatment of epilepsy.

What does the cure method of epilepsy have

Treatment one: the treatment of epilepsy should start from the mechanism of seizures, common epilepsy treatment methods include drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc. Drugs can control seizures by reducing brain excitability, but drug treatment generally requires long-term medication, and the side effects are also large. And not all people with epilepsy are suitable for surgical treatment.

Treatment 2: antiepileptic treatment needs continuous medication and should not be stopped easily. At present, it is believed that the drug can be stopped gradually only when there is no seizure for at least 3 years. In the process of drug withdrawal, only one drug can be stopped at a time, and it takes about one year to stop gradually.

Treatment 3: surgical treatment: surgical treatment is to remove the epileptic foci or damage the nerve fiber connection between the epileptic foci and the epileptic foci, so as to avoid the generation and spread of abnormal discharge of epileptic foci. It is mainly suitable for intractable epilepsy.

matters needing attention

The earlier the treatment, the smaller the brain damage, the fewer the recurrence, and the better the prognosis. It is also of great significance to remove or reduce the primary diseases causing epilepsy, such as intracranial space occupying diseases, metabolic abnormalities, infection, etc.
