Question
How many treatment methods are there for epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent, brief episodes of brain dysfunction. It is caused by abnormal electrical discharges in brain neurons, leading to repetitive seizures. Epilepsy is one of the common neurological diseases, with an incidence rate second only to stroke. Treatment for epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling seizures, etiological treatment, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. Among them, controlling seizures is the most important, and at present, medication is the main treatment method.
