Patient's question:
Hello, I have had epilepsy for nearly twenty years and have been controlling it well with medication. In the middle of last year, I suffered from gas poisoning, after which I frequently had seizures. This summer, I went to Kangjie Hospital for treatment for a period of time, but it still had no effect. I would like to ask if you have any better methods for controlling it.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy caused by is a delayed encephalopathy. The onset is due to delayed sympathetic nervous system excitation resulting from impaired blood supply in the area innervated by the originally affected nerves, caused by prolonged ischemia, leading to dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system and intermittent convulsions. Whether the condition can be controlled depends on analyzing the clinical data to determine effective treatment measures. Otherwise, the disease may lead to delayed more severe neurological atrophy, resulting in dementia and paralysis. During acute episodes, it can be life-threatening.The treatment plan involves a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to enhance and improve local microcirculation in the affected nerve area to nourish the nerves, soften scars, regulate nerve function, and promote regeneration and repair of the lesion. Simultaneously, stimulating and activating paralyzed nerves is crucial for regenerating and repairing nerves to achieve the best possible recovery of various functions. The key to recovery lies in early treatment.
