Can epilepsy be cured? Can epilepsy be cured?

Epilepsy is complex, long, difficult, and easy, and is regarded as a "stubborn disease" or even an "incurable disease". So can epilepsy be treated? Can it be **?

The answer is yes, the rapid development of modern medicine has proven that epilepsy is completely curable. Medications** are currently the preferred and primary measure of epilepsy control.

About 80% of people with epilepsy can have their seizures controlled through regular and rational use of antiepileptic drugs, and a significant number of them can even be completely **. Scientific diagnosis and early formality are the key. In addition, about 2 o epilepsy patients are "refractory epilepsy" although they are ultimately ineffective with regular drugs**, and surgery can be performed for these patients**.

At present, there is a lack of awareness of epilepsy in society, and the public is often prejudiced against epilepsy patients. Primary hospitals are limited to equipment conditions and medical technology level, many epilepsy can not be diagnosed, and the diagnosed epilepsy also lacks further fine and accurate classification, which affects the selection of anti-epileptic drugs and the determination of treatment course and prognosis. Oh.

Hello, I hope my answer is helpful to you First of all, it is clear that epilepsy is a disease, and seizures are a symptom, and seizures are caused by abnormal discharges caused by damaged brain neuronal cells, so if you want to completely control seizures, you must repair the damaged neuronal cells to balance the abnormal discharge, and completely eliminate seizures. Although epilepsy is a chronic intractable central nervous system disease, it is also regarded as an incurable disease by patients, but with the improvement of medical level and the update of examination methods, the key to epilepsy disease**: after clarifying the position of the nerve center to which the neuron of abnormal discharge belongs, targeted repair can be completely achieved**.

Epilepsy patients who no longer have seizures after a certain period of regular and systematic medication** can generally reduce the medication until the drug is stopped. If there is no seizure within 3 years after stopping the drug, it is considered **. Generally, most people no longer have seizures after the system, but not everyone no longer has seizures, according to research observations, 15 people have seizures again within 10 years of clinical ** patients.

Therefore, patients should not be blindly optimistic, and should be alert to the possibility of seizures in the future. The most important thing is to pay attention to maintenance and prevent any triggers, such as absolute abstinence from smoking, alcohol, agitation or anger, and excessive fatigue. In addition, try to watch less TV, play fewer game consoles, use less computers, mobile phones, do not play chess, do not play mahjong, etc.

Epilepsy is difficult, but it's not impossible. A large amount of data shows that as long as the disease is timely and the method is appropriate, about 80 patients can be completely controlled and, therefore, epilepsy is not an incurable disease. Reference:

Jining Red Cross Epilepsy Hospital.

Epilepsy patients should do a good job of epilepsy and care in time to prevent the occurrence of epilepsy.

1. Be reasonable as soon as possible**.

Because the diagnosis of epilepsy is difficult in the early stage, the western medicine of epilepsy is not consistent, and many patients cannot only occur once under normal conditions, and the risk is very large within half a year, and it will gradually decline in the future. And the best treatment is in the early stage, if you wait for two years to be treated, it will be difficult, so once you find that you have this disease, you must go to the hospital in time to check and treat.

Second, the combination of doctors and patients is an effective guarantee.

The treatment of epilepsy must be based on the patient's understanding of his or her own condition, as well as a clear understanding of the care of epilepsy, and the patient's family should also know how to deal with some emergency situations, and the treatment of epilepsy is very related to whether the patient's medication is reasonable, and secondly, it also requires close cooperation from the family.

If the patient can use the drug reasonably, then the occurrence of epilepsy can be completely controlled by half, and the occurrence of epilepsy can be reduced by 35%, during which there is very little effect, so it is very important to choose the correct and reasonable drug, if the drug is not selected properly or the drug is changed frequently, etc., it will definitely lead to a decrease in the efficacy of the drug. Therefore, before the patient takes the drug, it is necessary to understand the guidelines and varieties of medication. What are the guidelines for epilepsy treatment?

Let's find out.

1. Steady treatment. Should patients with the first occurrence be given antiepileptic drugs after careful examination and diagnosis by a specialist? There is no complete consensus on this issue.

Studies have shown that people who present with a febrile convulsion have a 50% chance of having it again. Therefore, there is no rush to treat patients with first-time epilepsy with antiepileptic drugs, and in general, they will be treated after 1 to 2 episodes in the future, depending on the condition.

2. Take medication regularly. Controlling the occurrence and elimination of the optic nerve and the function of the optic nerve are normal, which is the intention of treating epilepsy. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out all inductive treatment for patients, mainly drug treatment, ** treatment, psychological treatment and surgical treatment.

In this regard, medical treatment is the most important. According to the different types of occurrence and EEG characteristics, the drugs selected and the dosage are also different. Regular blood levels should be checked according to the condition of the disease, and the dose should be adjusted in time.

3. The question of the criteria for the treatment of epilepsy is mainly manifested in the steady selection of doctors. Most patients seek medical attention after the onset of epilepsy, and epilepsy is a chronic brain disease that occurs, so it is important to choose a physician with a neurology specialty who can distinguish between diseases that occur similarly to epilepsy but are not epilepsy.

Epilepsy is generally not complete, but it can be controlled with medications and the underlying condition. In general, most seizures can be controlled and no longer occur with aggressive**.

For primary epilepsy, where the symptoms are not particularly severe, the duration of the seizures is not long, and the frequency is not high, oral antiepileptic drugs** can be used to control the frequency and duration of seizures, and the onset can generally be controlled. The specific drugs mainly include carbamazepine, sodium valproate, phenytoin, levetiracetam, etc., some single drugs can solve the problem, sometimes the condition is more serious, and it needs to be combined with two or even three drugs to control the disease.

In addition, for secondary epilepsy caused by intracranial infection, anti-infective** is required first; If seizures are secondary to intracranial hemorrhage, drugs may be used to promote clot resorption or craniotomy to remove the hematoma; Secondary epilepsy caused by an intracranial tumor requires surgery** to remove the tumor. When the ** that causes secondary epilepsy is eliminated, combined with anti-epileptic drugs, the condition can generally be controlled and the disease will no longer occur.

About 70% of patients can control their seizures after regular anti-epileptic drugs**, of which 50% and 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years**, and patients can work and live like normal people. Surgery** and neuromodulation** can control seizures in some patients with drug-refractory epilepsy, and improve the prognosis of refractory epilepsy to a certain extent.

This is top-notch in technology, experience, and equipment, depending on what kind of material you choose, the ** of different materials is also different.

The local hospital is better, just go and see this. The constant stream of people every day can say a lot.
