Epilepsy, commonly known as “sheep epilepsy” and “goat horns”, is a chronic disease with a high incidence of seizures. The seizure may last for 1 minute to several minutes and then stop on its own, after which it turns into drowsiness or restlessness, with some awake immediately and some awake after about 20-60 minutes. The state of epilepsy patients often makes people around them feel fearful and worried, and many people even think they can’t live long with epilepsy, because people lack sufficient understanding of epilepsy. The impact of epilepsy on the life expectancy of patients can be understood in this way. The cases that have an impact are accidental deaths caused by seizures, such as some traffic accidents, drowning, burns, and falls. As well as the dangers of choking and aspiration pneumonia, fractures, dislocations, etc. during seizures. There are also severe persistent seizure states that lead to sudden death of the patient or cause harm in the form of mental retardation. In cases where the patient’s life expectancy is not affected, the patient is treated actively, takes the medication on time, and has family members who take good care of the patient. The most important thing is to make sure that the patient’s life expectancy is not affected by epilepsy. It can be said that the life expectancy of epileptic patients is related to the living conditions, family conditions and medical level. Epilepsy is not an incurable disease. Patients and their families should have confidence, be optimistic, and actively treat the disease to effectively control seizures through reasonable medication. If regular and reasonable medication is taken and the effect is not good, surgical treatment can be considered. There are two types of surgical treatment, namely focal resection and vagus nerve electrical stimulation, but focal resection is not suitable for every epilepsy patient. The procedure requires identifying the site of the causative lesion and removing the causative lesion through craniotomy to achieve the purpose of treating epilepsy. However, in a large proportion of patients with refractory epilepsy, the site of the epileptogenic focus cannot be determined or multiple foci are present, making resection impossible. In patients with refractory epilepsy who cannot undergo resection or who have recurrence after resection, vagus nerve stimulation can be considered. This procedure does not require precise localization of the epileptic focus, does not require craniotomy, and is performed by tying an electrode to the vagus nerve. seizures. Epilepsy is essentially the presence of abnormal discharges of nerve cells in the brain, and by using vagus nerve stimulation to improve the abnormal discharges of epileptic patients with artificial electrical activity, the number of seizures can be reduced, and for some patients, epilepsy can even be completely controlled, thus achieving the purpose of treating epilepsy.
