Question
How should a child with epilepsy be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for epilepsy involves medication to control seizures, with about 70% of patients able to suppress epilepsy attacks through the proper use of new antiepileptic drugs. For drug-resistant partial epilepsy, surgical treatment can be considered, including the removal of intracranial lesions or the implementation of neurostimulation therapies such as functional magnetic stimulation and functional electrical stimulation.
