Summary
Behavioral interventions effectively reduced high-rate myoclonic seizures in epilepsy patients. This approach offers a viable alternative to medication, especially when drug side effects are a concern.
Area of Science:
- Behavioral Medicine
- Neuroscience
- Epileptology
Background:
- Epilepsy poses significant medical and social challenges.
- Anticonvulsant medications manage most seizures but can cause side effects.
- Behavioral procedures show promise for intractable epilepsy or when avoiding drug side effects.
