Question

The patient inquires about the current methods for treating epilepsy and whether it is possible to achieve a complete cure.

Answer

Medical professionals respond that the treatment methods for epilepsy include medication and surgical treatment. Medication is a long-term process that may require patients to consistently adhere to it, but can successfully control the condition. Surgical treatment is faster, but carries higher risks, and is usually used for cases where medication is ineffective. To date, there is no treatment method that can completely cure epilepsy.
