Can epilepsy be cured?

Patient: The onset is mainly at night when I sleep, I got the disease in my twenties, now I am 52 years old. 45 years old or so I have been seen in a psychiatric hospital and have taken phenobarbital. I’m not sure how to treat this.
Wang Aihua, Department of Neurology, Shandong Qianfo Mountain Hospital: I wonder what symptoms you had at the onset of the disease, whether you have any past history of trauma, encephalitis, carbon monoxide poisoning, fever convulsions, etc., and whether you have any other discomfort besides seizures? Have you had a cranial magnetic resonance examination? In addition to the application of antiepileptic drugs, if there is a cause of the disease should be treated for the cause at the same time. According to statistics, with regular treatment, about 80% of epilepsy can be cured. If phenobarbital is ineffective, it is recommended to switch to other antiepileptic drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
