The scientific name of epilepsy is epilepsy. Clinical manifestations can be broadly categorized into partial seizures and generalized seizures, and common symptoms include muscle twitching and impaired consciousness.
1. Partial seizures include simple partial seizures as well as complex partial seizures.
Simple partial seizures include:
(1) Partial motor seizures are mainly involuntary twitching of a certain body part, such as eyelids, hands, etc. Even transient limb paralysis may occur.
(2) Partial sensory seizures are mainly pins and needles and numbness on one side of the limb, and sensory abnormalities such as hearing may also occur.

2. Generalized seizure:
(1) Tonic-clonic seizure will be the whole body repeatedly short violent flexion twitching, loss of consciousness.
(2) Tonic seizure will be the whole body skeletal muscle tonic contraction, pallor.
(3) Clonic seizures may involve rhythmic muscle twitching, etc. Catatonic seizures may involve daze, mechanical repetition of simple movements, and inability to respond to calls.
(4) Myoclonic seizures may be characterized by rapid and brief electrocution-like muscle contractions.
(5) Dystonic seizure will appear open mouth, sudden collapse seizure, nodding and so on.
