Patient's question:
My younger sister was originally a very pretty and well-behaved little girl. However, a car accident two years ago drastically changed her life. The accident caused epilepsy, which frequently recurs, and each time it nearly took her life. For this reason, we are more eager to know if epilepsy can be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is an incurable disease. It is mainly caused by severe brain damage, leading to abnormal brain impulses that trigger recurrence. This may result in hand and foot convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and loss of consciousness. This condition can primarily be managed by persistently taking antiepileptic drugs to control symptoms and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Additionally, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be considered.
