Can infantile spasms epilepsy relapse be controlled?

Patient's question:

Can infantile spasms epilepsy be controlled?

Doctor's answer:

Infantile spasms is a relatively complex epilepsy syndrome. This disease itself is not easy to control, requiring the use of multiple different antiepileptic drugs for treatment. As the frequency of spasms increases, the child's intelligence level will continue to decline. The typical clinical presentation includes recurrent nodding movements and explosive suppression on electroencephalography. After the onset of this disease, it is quite difficult to control it.
