Question
What should be done if medication cannot control childhood epilepsy?
Answer
The ultimate goal of epilepsy treatment is not only to suppress recurrence but also to improve the patient’s quality of life. The main treatment options for epilepsy include medication, surgical treatment, ketogenic diet, and neuroregulatory policy treatment. Antiepileptic drug treatment is currently the most important treatment for epilepsy and is often used as a mandatory option. If medication treatment is ineffective, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment.
