Question
A seven-year-old girl has epilepsy and her medication treatment has been ineffective. She inquires about other effective treatment methods.
Answer
The treatment for epilepsy includes medication, surgery, and vagus nerve stimulation. For patients whose medication treatment is ineffective and who are not suitable for surgery, vagus nerve stimulation may be an option. The specific treatment plan for the patient needs to be determined based on a detailed examination of the condition. When treating epilepsy with medication, it is recommended to go to the hospital to clearly identify the type of epilepsy, as different types of epilepsy require different medications, thereby enabling the development of a personalized treatment plan and adherence to medication. With medication treatment, epilepsy can be effectively controlled.
