Whether epilepsy can be cured mainly depends on the cause of the disease, the severity of the disease and the specifics of the treatment.
1. If epileptic patients, under standardized and reasonable anti-epileptic drug treatment, have their symptoms effectively relieved, some of them can be clinically cured by stopping the medication after 4 to 5 years of treatment and no further recurrence of epilepsy.
2. The other part of epilepsy is more stubborn, called refractory epilepsy, which requires long-term medication for symptom control, and some of them also need to be combined with surgical treatment to minimize the frequency of recurrence, but cannot be cured.
3. There is also a part of epilepsy in which the number of seizures gradually decreases with age, and can even be spontaneously relieved without the need for related treatment, such as juvenile catatonic epilepsy and childhood catatonic epilepsy.
The specific treatment plan for epilepsy and the prognosis of epilepsy, there are large individual differences, it is recommended to receive effective treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
