Neurosurgeons sometimes cureepilepsy by surgically removing scars from the brain. Sometimes they implant a device like a pacemaker in the brain. Sometimes neurologists treat epilepsy with medicine.
No. Epilepsy is not a disease, it is a condition.
There are some neurologists that specialise in epilepsy. However, neurology is concerned with all sorts of aspects of the functioning and health of the brain, so neurologists can deal with a very wide range of conditions, not just epilepsy. Some would deal with a lot of them and some may specialise in another one of the conditions that is part of neurology.
Epilepsy can be treated with drugs like dilantin, and occasionally with surgery.
A lot of research is done on epilepsy. Neurology is a complicated area. The brain is a complex organ and research into it is a huge area. There are many things that are still not understood about the brain. Epilepsy is just one of the areas that neurology covers. Epilepsy has many causes, and there are now many treatments and medications that have arisen as a result of the research into epilepsy. There is always more to do, but a lot of research has been done and is continuing to be done in many places around the world.
A neurology diplomat typically refers to a physician who has achieved board certification in neurology, indicating that they have met specific education, training, and examination requirements in the field. This certification often signifies expertise in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. Neurology diplomats may also engage in continuous education to stay updated on advancements in the field.
Epilepsy or seizures are treated by managing control and reduction in frequency and intensity of seizures using a variety of medications, lifestyle changes, and at times surgery.
Epilepsy is treated by medication, so things like syrup are irrelevant to its treatment. Epilepsy has many types, causes and levels of severity. Syrup would have no affect on any of those issues either. So there is no best syrup for epilepsy
The goal of epilepsy treatment is to eliminate seizures or make the symptoms less frequent and less severe. Long-term anticonvulsant drug therapy is the most common form of epilepsy treatment.
Medications frequently fail to adequately control the seizures. Fortunately, this particular epilepsy is most responsive to surgical treatment.
That dude back at triage said that this looked like a job for the neurology department. Neurology is branch of medical science. The victim of a stroke may require an assessment from someone down in neurology.
