Fifty million people worldwide have epilepsy and yet up to 35% of
patients experience seizures that are resistant to anti-epileptic
drugs. Patients with medication-resistant epilepsy have increased
risks of premature death, psychosocial dysfunction and a reduced
quality of life. This key resource delivers guidance for all
clinicians involved in caring for patients with
medication-resistant epilepsy in order to reduce these risks.
Covering the epidemiology, biology, causes and potential treatments
for medication-resistant epilepsy, this definitive and focused text
reviews the clinical care needs of patients. Guidance is practical
and includes treatment for specialized groups including pediatric
patients and those with psychiatric comorbidities. Several
promising non-pharmacologic interventions available for patients,
such as surgery, neuromodulation diet therapy and botanical
treatment are explored in detail. Leading international figures
from a range of disciplines bring their expertise together
holistically in this essential manual.
