The Study of Epilepsy from a Historical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Point of View

Epilepsy is one of the most commonly diagnosed severe neurological disorders in the world involving around 65 million people. It affects 1% of the population at age 20 and 3% of the population at age 75. This disease is more common in men than in men, although the overall difference is negligible.the main treatment of epilepsy is medication, antiepileptic drugs have increased in recent years, and are often controlled with an antiepileptic drug for epileptic seizures. A number of patients controlled with a drug have unwanted side effects and may occasionally have epileptic seizures. Approximately 30% of patients with focal epilepsy and 25% of patients with primary generalizedepilepsy are not well controlled with medication. These patients often use multiple medications and are associated with debilitating epileptic seizures and side effects. Although second-generation drugs are more safe and acceptable, data from these benefits are not yet sufficient. In a major study on current standard drugs, control with two drugs in 40% of cases can improve, but only in 9% of cases get rid of epileptic seizures. An analysis of Meta shows that the use of new antiepileptic drugs has been able to reduce the incidence of epileptic seizures, even more, by adding to the previous drug, in 12-29% of cases. The diagnosis of epilepsy is generally based on the description of seizures and side events. Electroencephalography and imaging of the nervous system are also part of the diagnostic operation. Conclusion: It is not always possible to find a specific epileptic syndrome. Long term brain barrier testing with video may also be useful in some cases.
