Patient's question:
My colleague's child is a patient with epilepsy. Currently, his child has epilepsy attacks every other day. Sometimes, he loses consciousness. Could you please tell me how many treatment methods are available for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a chronic, recurrent syndrome of transient brain dysfunction characterized by repeated seizures caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. It is one of the common diseases of the nervous system, with a prevalence rate second only to stroke. The treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: seizure control, etiological treatment, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. Among these, the most important is seizure control, which is currently primarily managed through medication.
