The Importance of Early Diagnosis in the Treatment and Management of Epilepsy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Treating epilepsy requires an accurate and timely diagnosis and then selecting the least toxic and most likely effective medications. Several antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been approved in recent years; however, even with these advances, 35 percent or more of patients have uncontrolled seizures. Surgical therapies may be an option for these patients.
