Patient's question:
Colleague recently had sudden twitches, after a careful check, it was said to be epilepsy, so they want to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to save them. So I want to ask, is the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for epilepsy good?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling recurrence, etiological treatment, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. Drug replacement should follow the principles of adding new drugs and gradually increasing the dosage of existing drugs. The most important aspect is controlling recurrence, which is currently based on medication. Most patients need to take medication for life, whether it's Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, to control the condition. However, it cannot eradicate the root cause, and long-term use may lead to side effects and drug resistance.
