Epilepsy Disorders and Treatment

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describe epilepsy as “a common brain condition that causes repeated seizures.” There is currently no cure for most types of epilepsy. A doctor may prescribe antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to help prevent seizures. If these drugs don't work, other potential options include surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, or a special diet. The doctor’s objective is to prevent further seizures and to manage any side effects so that the person can lead an active and productive life.In some cases, surgical interventions such as resecting the part of the brain responsible for the seizures may be considered, particularly for patients whose seizures are not controlled by medication. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the brain to help reduce seizure frequency. The ketogenic diet, which is high in fats and low in carbohydrates, is often used in children with difficult-to-control epilepsy. Additionally, recent advances in neurostimulation and neurofeedback therapies offer new treatment options for individuals with epilepsy. Management of epilepsy also involves addressing lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and overall health, as these can impact seizure activity. With appropriate treatment and support, many individuals with epilepsy can live full and meaningful lives, though ongoing research continues to explore better treatments and a potential cure.
