The first thing we need to understand is that the cause of epilepsy is complex. The cause of epilepsy is complex, involving genetics, structure, infection, metabolism, immunity, etc. The specific causes are different, and are broadly divided into idiopathic epilepsy, symptomatic epilepsy and cryptogenic epilepsy, and in the case of idiopathic epilepsy and cryptogenic epilepsy, the cure rate can reach 70%-80%, and symptomatic epilepsy depends on the specific cause of epilepsy, and the cure rate will be different. The treatment of epilepsy is divided into allopathic and symptomatic treatment, and oral antiepileptic drug therapy belongs to the category of symptomatic treatment, hoping to achieve the goal of seizure-free epilepsy, with as little adverse effect on the child’s cognitive level as possible and improved quality of life. Some epilepsies, and especially most children with epilepsy, can meet the criteria for clinical cure, which is 10 years seizure-free, with at least 5 years seizure-free without medication. Under what circumstances can medication be stopped? We generally consider at least 2-3 years seizure-free (symptomatic epilepsy may require an appropriate extension of time) with an EEG that is as normal as possible. What is the recurrence rate after stopping medication? A related study found that after 3 years seizure-free, the recurrence rate after stopping medication was about 31%; after 5 years seizure-free, the recurrence rate after stopping medication was about 17%; and the recurrence rate no longer dropped significantly after continuing to extend the medication, about 16%. Of course, after a relapse, the majority of children can still achieve a clinical absence of seizures, generally by taking the original medication again. Finally, it should be obvious that epilepsy is a treatable disease and a disease that has a high probability of being cured, and we should have the confidence to overcome the disease through hard work. Go for it.
