Patient's question:
Daughter suddenly fainted in school two days ago, her hands and feet twitched uncontrollably, and her eyes were straight when she looked at things. She gradually returned to normal within less than a minute. However, after coming down, she didn't know what happened again. When asked why she fell, she only knew she felt uncomfortable and her eyes went black.What kind of help is needed: What should be done if the child has epilepsy? What medicine should be taken to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Neuromodulation policy treats refractory epilepsy. Vagus nerve stimulation is primarily used for refractory epilepsy that cannot be controlled by antiepileptic drugs, or for patients who are not suitable for craniotomy or unwilling to undergo craniotomy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is suitable for epilepsy patients who do not respond well to medication or surgery, or who cannot undergo surgery.2. Ketogenic diet treats refractory epilepsy. The ketogenic diet, which is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and appropriate protein diet therapy, has been used in clinical diagnosis and treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy for 90 years.
