Treatment

Treatment

Up to 70% of people could have their epilepsy controlled with anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). AEDs aim to prevent seizures from happening, but don't cure epilepsy.

Some people may not get full control of their epilepsy, even though they may have had the most suitable treatment for their type of seizures. There are other ways to treat epilepsy if a person doesn't respond well to AEDs, but they are not suitable for everyone.
