Patient's question:
Since last year, I haven't had migraines anymore. In terms of pain, there are basically no signs of it occurring. Even if it happens once or twice, the pain lasts for a very short time. I understand that the treatment for epilepsy takes a long time. I hope the doctor can help me cure my epilepsy. Is it considered cured if the symptoms of epilepsy don't recur for two years?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a disease that requires long-term treatment. The standard for self-healing is that the epilepsy patient does not experience any seizures for any reason within three years, and multiple careful electroencephalogram (EEG) examinations show no abnormalities. After a thorough examination by a doctor, if there are no abnormalities, it can be inferred that the epilepsy has been cured. Currently, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for a thorough examination to see if their condition has improved, allowing the doctor to determine how to treat the condition with medication based on the severity of the illness, until they are fully cured.
