Question
If an EEG shows no abnormalities, does it indicate the absence of epilepsy?
Answer
A normal EEG cannot confirm the absence of epilepsy. Both domestically and internationally, epilepsy is primarily treated with medication. After patients receive regular anti-epileptic drug treatment, about 70% of seizures can be controlled, and 50% to 60% of patients can be cured and return to normal work and life after 2 to 5 years of treatment. Therefore, appropriate and regular anti-epileptic medication treatment is crucial.
