Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that affects millions of people every year. Among them, refractory epilepsy is a more complex and intractable type, and many patients are still unable to be effectively controlled after many years**. So, why is refractory epilepsy so difficult to treat?Here's a detailed answer for you.
1. Complex and diverse.
There are many different types of refractory epilepsy, and some patients are not even able to find a definitive **. This makes it difficult for doctors to target specific cases when they are targeted, which increases the difficulty of targeting.
Second, the prognosis of the drug ** is not good.
Most people with epilepsy can be controlled with antiepileptic drugs, but for refractory epilepsy, the prognosis of drugs** is often poor. This may be due to the fact that antiepileptic drugs do not inhibit neuronal firing in the brain in some patients, or that patients are not sensitive to the response to medications.
3. High risk of surgery.
For patients with refractory epilepsy who do not respond to medications, surgery** is an option. However, the high risk of surgery**, such as post-operative complications, post-operative recovery, and other problems, discourages many patients. In addition, surgery** is not suitable for all patients, and some patients may not be able to be controlled by surgery**.
Fourth, the Xi habits of life are not good.
Poor lifestyle Xi is also one of the reasons why refractory epilepsy is difficult to control. Excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, and irregular eating may trigger or aggravate the condition. Patients need to actively adjust their lifestyle Xi and maintain a good routine, such as a good rest, diet and Xi.
Fifth, the psychological pressure is too great.
Patients with refractory epilepsy often face greater psychological pressure, such as fear of worsening their condition and affecting their work and life. Excessive psychological stress can lead to further deterioration of the patient's physical condition, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, patients need to actively seek psychological support and** to relieve stress and anxiety.
To sum up, the reason why refractory epilepsy is difficult to treat is mainly due to factors such as complex and diverse, poor prognosis of drugs, high risk of surgery, poor Xi habits, and excessive psychological pressure. Therefore, for patients with refractory epilepsy, comprehensive measures are needed, including medication, surgery, Xi lifestyle adjustment, and psychological support. At the same time, patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor's advice, regularly review and adjust the plan, in order to control the condition as soon as possible and improve the quality of life.
