Can infantile epilepsy be cured?

Patient's question:

The baby was born due to a difficult labor, which led to epilepsy. Can infantile epilepsy be cured now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after epilepsy patients receive standardized antiepileptic drug treatment, about 70% of them can have their seizures controlled. Among them, 50% to 60% can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing patients to work and live like normal people. Surgical treatment and neuromodulation therapy can control or cure seizures in some drug-resistant epilepsy patients, improving the prognosis of refractory epilepsy to some extent.
