Aim:
Clinical and expert analysis of the data, determining the severity of permanent disabilities in patients with epilepsy, based on the new classifications and criteria used for the implementation of medical and social examination from 2016.
Material And Methods:
Two hundred acts of examination of patients with epilepsy in medical and social examination bureaus were analyzed using statistical, clinical expertise and graphic methods.
Results And Conclusion:
A clinical expert analysis showed that the assessment of the limitations of life in epilepsy patients and people with disabilities requires an integrated approach. Not only seizures (their severity and frequency), but also gradually growing changes of the cognitive sphere and personality disorders, should be taken into account when making expert decisions. A typology of the formation of individual rehabilitation programs is presented.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Antiepileptic Drugs: Glutamate Antagonists
Antiepileptic Drugs: Modulators of Neurotransmitter Release Mediated by SV2A Protein
SV2A is a transmembrane glycoprotein located predominantly in the brain, modulating the release of neurotransmitters for neuronal communication. Both levetiracetam and brivaracetam exhibit a high affinity for...
