Question
Can epilepsy in children be cured permanently?
Answer
Epilepsy Medication Treatment: What are the newer treatment methods for childhood epilepsy, and how is epilepsy treated with medication? Epilepsy is a complex, unpredictable chronic neurological disorder with various causes and clinical manifestations. The goal of treatment is to control or minimize seizures, eliminate the cause, and reduce brain damage. Regular medication can alleviate seizures in 70% to 80% of patients within 5 years, with 50% able to completely stop taking medication. Among patients with refractory epilepsy who do not respond to medication, some can be cured through surgery.
