Epilepsy & Seizures
Epilepsy and seizures are neurological disorders that can severely affect daily life. Our expert team, led by Dr. Chakradhar Reddy, provides comprehensive care tailored to your specific condition to help manage and reduce the frequency of seizures.
1. Diagnosis
- Physical and Neurological Examination: Assessing symptoms and seizure history.
- EEG (Electroencephalogram): A diagnostic test to measure electrical activity in the brain.
- Imaging: MRI or CT scans to identify brain abnormalities.
- Blood Tests: To rule out other causes or conditions that may trigger seizures.
2. Medical Management
- Anti-Epileptic Drugs (AEDs): Medications to control seizures and reduce their frequency.
- Seizure Triggers: Identifying and managing factors that may increase seizure risk (like stress, sleep deprivation, etc.).
- Corticosteroids: In some cases, steroids may help control inflammation in the brain.
3. Lifestyle Modifications
- Sleep Hygiene: Ensuring proper sleep patterns to avoid seizures triggered by lack of rest.
- Dietary Adjustments: Special diets such as the ketogenic diet to manage seizures effectively.
- Stress Management: Practices such as meditation, yoga, and relaxation techniques to reduce seizure risk.
4. Advanced Treatments
- Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): A device that stimulates the vagus nerve to help control seizures.
- Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS): A treatment involving a brain implant that detects seizures and delivers electrical pulses to stop them.
- Surgical Intervention: For cases where seizures are not controlled by medication, surgery may be considered to remove the seizure focus.
5. Prevention & Education
- Education on seizure safety: Tips for avoiding injury during a seizure and ensuring safety in daily activities.
- Support Networks: Connecting with epilepsy support groups and resources for emotional support and guidance.
