Background:The ketogenic diet has been widely and successfully used to treat children with drug-resistant epilepsy since the 1920s. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of the ketogenic diet in a randomised controlled trial. Methods:145 children aged between 2 and 16 years who had...

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet used to treat epilepsy. It is commonly recommended for children with refractory (treatment-resistant) epilepsy. Adults with epilepsy also benefit from the keto diet and similar plans. Study results vary, but many have shown that a ...
There is also a growing interest for dietary treatments for epilepsy other than ketogenic diet, such as the modified Atkins diet and the low glicemic index diet , both providing a daily amount of fat less than the ketogenic diet. Presently, some authors prefer to use the ketogenic diet in ...
The ketogenic diet can be given to babies as an epilepsy treatment as well. Inthis study, during a 4-year period, 23 children with infantile spasms, aged 5 months to 2 years, were started on the ketogenic diet. At 3 months, 38% of the children were greater than 90% improved. At nin...
Nearly 75% of children with hard-to-treat disease responded to the diet Children with genetic causes of epilepsy, including Dravet syndrome, were more than five times more likely to have fewer seizures after following a ketogenic diet, known as keto, for one year, according to a new study....
Background The ketogenic diet is a diet high in fat but low in carbohydrate and it is suggested that this diet reduces seizure frequency. Currently, this diet is used mainly for children who continue to have seizures despite treatment with antiepileptic drugs. Objectives To overview the evidence ...
The ketogenic diet (KD) is an effective treatment option for patients with intractable epilepsy. The recent resurgence of interest in the KD has led to an explosion of research into its clinical implementation, as well as its underlying mechanisms. The KD is often initiated in the hospital, ...

The ketogenic diet (KD) debuted in the 1920s as a metabolic treatment for epilepsy, based on the historical observation that fasting could prevent seizures. Similar to fasting, the high-fat, low-carbohydrate KD restricts glucose and favors oxidation of fatty acids, which in turn generates ketones...
