Epilepsy management requires gender-specific considerations. This review focuses on female epilepsy patients, highlighting biological and psychosocial factors and the role of gabapentin in tailored treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder requiring individualized patient management.
  • Patient classification based on differentiating factors is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Gender is a significant, yet often overlooked, factor in epilepsy care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematize factors relevant to the study and treatment of female epilepsy patients.
  • To explore gender-specific biological (e.g., sex hormones) and psychosocial (e.g., stigma) considerations.
  • To review the clinical application of gabapentin within the context of female epilepsy management.

Main Methods:

  • Systematization of biological and psychosocial factors influencing female epilepsy patients.
  • Review of clinical literature on gabapentin's use in epilepsy.

  • Analysis of gabapentin's efficacy and safety considering gender-specific aspects.

    • Main Results:

    • Identification of key biological and psychosocial factors that differ between genders in epilepsy.
    • Gabapentin's role in monotherapy and polytherapy for female epilepsy patients was evaluated.
    • The need for gender-tailored treatment guidelines was emphasized.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender-specific guidelines are recommended for optimizing epilepsy management.
    • Special attention to biological and psychosocial factors is essential for female patients.
    • Rational use of gabapentin contributes to meeting the specific needs of women with epilepsy.
