Question

Hello, teacher, I would like to inquire about the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine in treating epilepsy, particularly for cases with a long history of seizures.

Answer

The primary methods for treating epilepsy currently include medication and surgical treatment. Medication is the first-line treatment, suitable for the majority of patients. Surgical treatment is applicable to refractory epilepsy that does not respond to medication, although it carries certain risks. In addition, there are auxiliary treatments such as acupuncture and thread insertion.
