What tests are needed to treat epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to consult a question. I have a relative who is 35 years old and has epilepsy. Now the family is very anxious. Hello doctor, what tests are needed for the treatment of epilepsy? The family is very worried and anxious, and hopes the doctor can reply quickly. Thank you, doctor!

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, the current diagnosis of epilepsy is likely to be more probable. Epilepsy requires careful examination for confirmation, including an electroencephalogram (EEG), a cranial CT scan, and a cranial MRI. If epilepsy is diagnosed, oral antiepileptic drugs can be prescribed. The most important thing is to determine whether the epilepsy is primary or secondary. Secondary epilepsy can be cured after the cause is removed.
