Treatment of chronic epilepsy

summary

I have had epilepsy for many years. I had seizures when I was 11 years old. My parents have aged a lot for this disease. After treatment for a period of time, I feel much better now. Let's talk about the treatment of long-term epilepsy.

Treatment of chronic epilepsy

Treatment 1: diet treatment of epilepsy: diet as a method of treatment of epilepsy, mainly refers to the use of ketogenic diet. Only after resection of the epileptogenic area can the seizure free brain be achieved.

Treatment 2: vagus nerve stimulation: a pacemaker like stimulator was implanted subcutaneously into the left upper chest, and a wire connected the stimulator to the left vagus nerve.

Treatment 3: epilepsy is a disease that can be treated. It is not a firm conclusion that epilepsy can not be cured. Clinically, epilepsy is a treatable disease. The treatment of epilepsy can not only completely control seizures, but also enable the epilepsy patients who have been treated to obtain higher quality of life and even return to the society.

matters needing attention

Don't drive, swim or go out alone at night. Don't go to remote places with few people. If there is a sign of attack, lie down immediately to avoid falling. Epilepsy patients should not be too hungry or full, do not overeat.
