What is the best way to treat epilepsy?

Method 1: drug treatment. At present, drug therapy is the main treatment for epilepsy at home and abroad. 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, reasonable and regular antiepileptic drug treatment is the key.

Method 2: neuromodulation therapy. Neuromodulatory therapy is a new neurophysiological technique, and it 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).

Method 3: surgical treatment. After regular antiepileptic drug treatment, there are still about 20% - 30% of patients with drug-resistant 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.
