Epilepsy: Advances in Management and Research

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal brain activity. It affects millions worldwide, with diverse types of seizures and etiologies. Advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of epilepsy have paved the way for more targeted treatments. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) remain the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. However, drug-resistant epilepsy, which occurs in around one-third of patients, requires alternative approaches. Newer AEDs, neuromodulation techniques (such as deep brain stimulation), and ketogenic diets are being explored to improve seizure control.Recent research focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular basis of epilepsy. Advances in neuroimaging, particularly fMRI, enable better localization of seizure foci in the brain, improving surgical planning for patients who are candidates for resective surgery. Epilepsy research is also investigating personalized medicine approaches, including gene therapy, that may offer the potential for long-term seizure control. As knowledge about the brain’s electrical activity advances, novel therapies, including precision neuromodulation and targeted drug therapies, show promise in improving the lives of individuals with epilepsy.
