Question
Our child has been suffering from epilepsy and has been on medication for nearly a year, but there has been no significant improvement. The child often collapses and has convulsions without apparent reason. We would like to know how to deal with intractable epilepsy in children when medication control is ineffective?
Answer
The ultimate goal of epilepsy treatment is not only to reduce seizures but also to improve the quality of life for patients. Common treatment methods include medication, surgery, ketogenic diet, and neural regulation therapy. Antiepileptic drug treatment is the main treatment method and is usually the first choice. If the medication is ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered.
