Abstract

The goal of therapy for epilepsy is seizure control, usually occurring with treatment with medication. Most people with epilepsy are well-controlled on the first medication prescribed. However, up to 30% [...], Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders, occurring in approximately 1% of the population. The diagnosis of epilepsy is made when a person suffers from recurrent unprovoked seizures. A seizure is a 'sudden burst of electricity in brain,' or in more scientific terms, a paroxysmal alteration of neurological function caused by excessive hypersynchronous discharge of neurons in the cerebral cortex. Unprovoked seizures are seizures that are NOT caused by illness, sleep deprivation, drugs, alcohol, or trauma. There is over double the incidence of epilepsy in children compared to adults, occurring in 100-200/100,000 children, as compared with 24-53/100,000 adults. There are about 1.25-2.5 million persons with epilepsy in the United States alone, and approximately 10.5 million children worldwide have epilepsy.
