Podcast #298: Seizures

Author: Sam Killian, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • The availability of antiepileptic treatment has changed in the last 30 years.
  • A recent study in JAMA followed 18,000 pts with epilepsy for 30 years to assess the effectiveness of looked at seizure control.
  • The study found that although there have been new drugs introduced over the last 30 years, there has not been much of an improvement in seizure control.
  • Side effect profiles and medicine compliance may have improved in this time period, but the main goal of reducing seizure frequency has not been reached.
