Patient's question:
The child has been lacking in activity due to epilepsy, and now their physical condition is relatively poor. They get sick easily and occasionally still experience mild twitching in their hands and feet. The doctor said that exercise is necessary. I would like to know what benefits exercise has for epilepsy patients.Doctor's answer:
Physical exercise can increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex in epilepsy patients, inhibit attenuation, and also stabilize the regulatory function of the nervous system on various organs of the body, thereby reducing the adaptability of the entire organism to the external environment. During the treatment of epilepsy, when the internal environment of the body is adjusted, it can better eliminate the internal triggers in patients, restore the ability to adapt to the external environment, and enhance the resistance to external pathogenic invasions.
