Question
How long does it take to treat pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The duration of epilepsy treatment varies based on the type of epilepsy, generally divided into primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy. Primary epilepsy is often associated with genetic factors, whereas secondary epilepsy is more commonly linked to brain injuries. Although the treatment for secondary epilepsy usually takes longer than that for primary epilepsy, if the lesion is small and not located in a critical functional area, it is possible for spontaneous recovery to occur within 1-2 years through other treatment methods.
