Standardized epilepsy treatment

  For a long time, it has been widely believed that epilepsy has a poor prognosis and is even incurable. In addition, there is a lack of formal and systematic diagnosis and treatment for epilepsy patients, poor compliance of patients in taking medication, and the phenomenon of self-medication discontinuation and change of medication is very common, and some social wandering doctors mislead patients under the deceptive guise of “cure” and “eradication”, which makes Patients and their families suffer great physical and mental damage.  In fact, with the continuous development of clinical treatment methods, the widespread use of video EEG, dynamic EEG, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) has improved the level of diagnosis, differential diagnosis and etiological diagnosis of epilepsy. The emergence of new antiepileptic drugs and improved surgical methods have helped to increase the seizure control rate.  Currently, 80% of patients with seizures are completely controlled by regular antiepileptic drugs and their quality of life is significantly improved. 10% of patients with drug-refractory epilepsy can have their seizures controlled by surgery. This shows that a clear diagnosis and standardized treatment is the key to seizure control.
