Patient's question:
Severe body convulsions, foaming at the mouth for a yearDoctor's answer:
Hello, refractory epilepsy refers to epilepsy that has not been controlled despite receiving appropriate antiepileptic drug treatment, and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings show epileptic discharges or other abnormal waveforms, including infantile spasms. Treatment should be targeted at the cause, such as clearing hematoma, removing tumors, or treating cerebral edema. Additionally, combination therapy should be used to control epilepsy. The initial dose should be increased, and the dose should be gradually reduced after recurrence is controlled. With standardized treatment, it can be cured.
