Question
An epilepsy patient, after nearly two years of treatment, still occasionally experiences symptoms of hand and foot convulsions despite daily intake of antiepileptic drugs. The patient and their family are seeking more effective treatment methods to alleviate the pain.
Answer
The treatment of epilepsy typically involves antiepileptic drugs as the first choice. Patients need to select appropriate medications based on the type of epilepsy and adjust to the optimal dosage under the guidance of a physician, maintaining regular intake and not stopping medication arbitrarily. The duration of treatment depends on the patient’s recovery process. By persisting with correct medication therapy, many epilepsy patients can achieve the goal of complete recovery.
