Abstract:
Non-medical options fort her treatment of drug-resistant epilepsies Abstract. If the first two antiepileptic drugs do not achieve sustained seizure freedom, the probability of reaching this goal with any other medication is only 10 %. In this situation, possible reasons for the failure of antiepileptic drugs should be examined as should be possible chances of epilepsy surgery. If curative epilepsy surgery is not possible, palliative treatments like vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) or deep brain stimulation (DBS) may provide for better seizure control. Ketogenic diet may also be considered as an option especially in severe childhood epilepsies.
