Patient's question:
Which are the better specialized hospitals for epilepsy? My good friend's child said that recently they had epilepsy symptoms, with one episode of fainting and twitching, only then realizing the child was having an epileptic seizure. They are very worried and want to learn about current treatment methods for epilepsy. What is the best treatment method for epilepsy at present?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in our country, we generally adopt antiepileptic drugs to rescue epilepsy patients. Through standardized antiepileptic drug treatment, about 70% of patients can have their recurrence controlled. Among them, 50% to 60% of patients can be fully cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to work and live like normal people. Proper and standardized antiepileptic drug treatment is the key. It is recommended to seek medical help from professional and standardized hospitals or provincial tertiary hospitals to prevent missed opportunities and worsening of the condition.
