What is epilepsy? Can epilepsy be cured Please, everyone, 3Q

Epilepsy is a chronic and complex brain disease, which has certain difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, but it is not an incurable disease, and it can be cured after formal and professional **

Some studies have shown that in some rare cases, vitamin B6 and vitamin D deficiencies contribute to seizures. Vitamin B6 is found in meat, whole grains, and legumes; Vitamin D is found in oily fish and some animal products, especially cheese and nutrient-fortified milk. Patients should only take vitamin supplements under the guidance of their doctor.

Certain minerals can also be helpful for some patients:1Magnesium, found in abundance in whole wheat flour, millet, figs, meat, fish, nuts and legumes.

2.Zinc, found in meat, offal, malt, nuts, crabs, oysters, and lentils. 3.

Calcium, which is mainly found in milk and dairy products. Each of these minerals can help prevent seizures in some people. Based on preliminary evidence, congenital epilepsy may be related to a lack of manganese in the mother's diet during pregnancy, but this claim is still much debated.

The main manganese are** rice, whole wheat bread, malt, buckwheat, lima beans, nuts, malt, sardines, blackberries, figs and pineapples. In a few cases, nutritional deficiencies and low blood sugar have been associated with seizures. Therefore, patients should eat regularly and pay attention to balanced nutrition to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

In addition, some non-traditional physicians believe that mixing salad with raw fruit can reduce the frequency and severity of the disease. People who are susceptible to the disease can drink too much alcohol to accelerate the onset of the disease. Evening primrose oil can also cause illness in some people and is best avoided.

For refractory epilepsy, the Atkins diet** is sometimes used and is effective in about half of patients. The Atkins diet, which is a strict ketogenic diet that is high in fat and very low in carbohydrates. However, the question of why the ketogenic diet can control epilepsy symptoms has long been a mystery.

Recently, Kelvin Yamada et al. at the University of Washington School of Medicine found in experiments in rodents that instilling leptin in the nose could delay the onset of tics symptoms. Leptin is an important hormone that regulates eating and energy metabolism. From this study, it is suggested that by studying the leptin-triggered signaling mechanism, it is expected that the ketogenic diet can solve the epilepsy mystery.

In this study, leptin was injected into the brains of rats to trigger focal epilepsy with leptin, which reduced the frequency and duration of convulsive seizures. In laboratory rats, leptin dripping from the nasal cavity can enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier, delaying the onset of chemically triggered general tics. Other experiments suggest that leptin may exert antiepileptic effects through interaction with the JAK2 PI3K information channel.

Epilepsy is possible.

Epilepsy. It is a chronic disease of transient brain dysfunction, and whether it can be completely ** still needs to be comprehensively judged according to the patient's condition. For idiopathic epilepsy, patients need to be given antiepileptic drugs**, which can generally be clinical**.

Some refractory epilepsy, when the drug cannot control it, requires surgery** to reduce the patient's symptoms, but the ** rate is not 100%.

Patients with epilepsy should also maintain a good mood and avoid being too nervous or pessimistic, so as not to lead to epilepsy.

This is not very good, can not guarantee the complete good, but to go to a regular hospital to accept, only to be able to control the further deterioration and development of the disease, and find the right drug, must be used regularly for a long time, usually to develop a regular way of life and diet, I hope to go to the local tertiary hospital neurology department for diagnosis and treatment, do relevant examinations, in order to facilitate a clear diagnosis. After the diagnosis of epilepsy, it is necessary to systematically use medication to control the seizures of epilepsy, take the medication according to the doctor's instructions, and cannot be interrupted halfway, generally 2-3 years without seizures can be **, and it is necessary to gradually reduce the dose and stop the drug under the guidance of the treating doctor. During the ** period, we should develop good living habits, live regularly, ensure adequate sleep, don't stay up late, keep a good mood, and avoid overwork, tiredness, excessive excitement and anger.

These are seizure-inducing a**. Do not travel alone and go to dangerous places, and always be accompanied by someone when you go out to avoid accidents.

Epilepsy is a disease that can be actively removed, such as due to hypoglycemia or parasitic infection, blood sugar should be corrected, anti-parasitic. In addition, if ** cannot be removed, or if it cannot be well determined, long-term drug ** should be considered. The main drugs are phenytoin, valproate, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, topiramate, etc., among which levetiracetam, lamotrigine and topiramate are new antiepileptic drugs, which have the advantages of being small but expensive.

First, the choice of anti-epileptic drugs needs to be decided according to various factors such as the type of seizure, the size of the drug, the age and gender of the patient, and the long-term use under the guidance of a doctor should be reviewed regularly; The second is surgery, which is a way for the patient to solve epilepsy as soon as possible, but surgery is also risky, so it is necessary to be cautious, usually doctors do not recommend that only when the patient's seizures and drugs cannot be controlled, and the patient is relatively serious, it can be carried out by surgery**; The third is psychological, experts say that a large number of epilepsy patients have low self-esteem, mental pressure, social contradictions, economic problems, work problems and other physical problems, want to ** epilepsy not only to control seizures, but also to let epilepsy patients remove psychological barriers, so saving epilepsy patients requires the joint efforts of the whole society, starting from supporting and encouraging the patients around you, only in this way can they quickly have a normal life; The fourth is also a common method, first of all, epilepsy, such as epilepsy caused by meningitis, must be anti-inflammatory, such as epilepsy caused by brain parasites, it must be a precursor, and epilepsy caused by brain tumors, which must be surgically removed from the tumor.

Depending on the type of epilepsy that causes it, it can be divided into idiopathic epilepsy syndromes, symptomatic epilepsy syndromes, and possibly symptomatic epilepsy syndromes.

Central nervous system lesions or abnormalities due to various reasons, including brain structural abnormalities or various factors affecting brain function. With the progress of medicine and the continuous development and enrichment of examination methods, there are more and more epilepsy cases that can be found.

Epilepsy** is complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain disorders, systemic or systemic disorders, and more.

Genetic factors. Genetic factors are an important cause of epilepsy, especially idiopathic epilepsy. Molecular genetic studies have found that some of the molecular mechanisms of hereditary epilepsy are structural or functional changes in ion channels or related molecules.

Brain disorders. Congenital brain development abnormalities: cerebral gray matter heterotopia, cerebral perforation malformation, tuberous sclerosis, cerebrofacial angiomatosis, etc.

Brain tumors: primary or metastatic tumors.

Intracranial infection: various encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, neurocysticercosis, cerebral toxoplasmosis, etc.

Traumatic brain injury: birth injury, intracranial hematoma, cerebral contusion and various craniocerebral compound injuries.

Cerebrovascular disease: cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and cerebral aneurysm, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, etc.

Diseases: Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Pick's disease, etc.

Epilepsy is a chronic disease, although it does not have much impact on patients in the short term, but long-term frequent seizures can lead to serious effects on the patient's physical, mental and intellectual health.

1. Danger to life: Epilepsy patients often have sudden seizures at any time, place, environment and cannot control themselves, and are prone to falls, burns, drowning, traffic accidents, etc.

2. Mental harm, epilepsy patients are often discriminated against by society, encounter difficulties in employment, marriage, family life, etc., patients are mentally depressed, and their physical and mental health are greatly affected.

3. Cognitive impairment, which is mainly manifested as memory impairment, mental decline, personality changes, etc., and finally gradually loses the ability to work or even live.

Epilepsy medication ** is a long-term practice process, doctors, patients and family members should have full patience and love, patients should have regular follow-up visits, doctors should be individualized according to the specific situation of each patient**, and supplemented by scientific life guidance, both parties fully cooperate, in order to achieve satisfactory results.

About 20% to 30% of patients still have drug-refractory epilepsy despite regular antiepileptic drugs**. Surgery for epilepsy** provides a new means for this subset of patients, and it is estimated that about 50% of patients with drug-refractory epilepsy can be controlled or treated with surgery, which improves the prognosis of refractory epilepsy to a certain extent.

Currently, the best way to get epilepsy is traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine **epilepsy is based on the principle of syndrome differentiation**, and traditional Chinese medicine is not toxic, traditional Chinese medicine is fundamental**, **no longer**. And Western medicine ** epilepsy is very toxic *** and hurts the brain, Western medicine ** epilepsy treatment symptoms but not the root cause, but also easy**.

Therefore, it is recommended that you have a TCM ** epilepsy.
