Therapy Anticonvulsant

Anticonvulsant therapy

Anticonvulsant therapy is one type of treatment for seizure disorders. It is used to stop or alleviate seizures that can occur with various diseases or conditions, such as epilepsy, hemiplegia, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, alcoholic hallucinosis and others.

1. Description of therapy One of the basic principles of anticonvulsant therapy is the cessation of any possible causes that cause seizures. This may involve a variety of methods, such as treating the underlying condition, reducing exposure to irritants, reducing consumption of alcohol, medications or other substances that may cause seizures, and lifestyle changes (eg, reducing stress, increasing physical activity, etc.) .

Anticonvulsants may be given orally, intravenously, or by injection. Typically, patients begin receiving the drug slowly over several hours or days to avoid side effects.

Anticonvulsant therapy is a specialized treatment aimed at managing severe and frequent seizures (paroxysmal seizures) in patients. Seizures can be caused by a number of medical conditions, including epilepsy, brain injury, endocrine diseases and mental disorders.

The goal of anticonvulsant therapy is to reduce the number and duration of seizures that patients experience. This therapy can be prescribed both for the diagnosis of epilepsy and for other neurological diseases that cause seizures.

The main methods of anticonvulsant therapy:

- Prescription of one or more drugs from the category: antiepileptic drugs that prevent paroxysmal discharges. These drugs lead to a decrease in the frequency and intensity of attacks and their duration.

- Surgery to prevent recurrence of attacks. This may include replacing damaged nerve tissue, procedures to prevent brain injury, or other methods to eliminate the sources of seizures.

To prevent various side effects, as well as to select the optimal treatment, the doctor must carefully study the patient’s medical history, conduct the necessary examination, and then individually prescribe appropriate therapy.
