70% of people with epilepsy could control their seizures with anti-epileptic medication or surgery, but 75% of people with epilepsy who live in developing regions do not receive treatment for their condition. This is due to a lack of trained caregivers...
Children with infantile spasms, a rare form of epileptic seizures, should be treated with one of three recommended therapies and the use of non-standard therapies should be strongly discouraged, according to a study of their effectiveness by a Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investiga...
Lowering pulse amplitude, and individualizing it, may be useful strategies for further optimization of an already highly effective treatment. The ability to induce seizures with substantially lower fields strengths has already been demonstrated (Rosa et al, 2010), and is not surprising given that ...
Nujoma, who suffers from epileptic seizures said her muscles and body are in pain after epileptic seizure episodes, which occur randomly and are unpredictable. "Acupuncture has been working for me. Things have been getting better and the therapy helps," she said, adding that she loves the thera...
Seizures in dogs are actually a symptom rather than a condition. Many things can cause them, ranging from low blood sugar to a head injury. But the most common cause is what's called idiopathic epilepsy, which means your dog has seizures for no known reason. It's not clear why some dog...
For people living with epilepsy who have tried various epilepsy treatments to control their seizures with little success, there is another option. It's a surgery called resection of an epileptic focus, or resective surgery—where surgeons remove or disconnect the area in the brain that is no lon...
Despite the high prevalence of seizure, epilepsy and abnormal electroencephalograms in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is little information regarding the relative effectiveness of treatments for seizures in the ASD population. In order to determine the effectiveness of traditional ...
