Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting over 65 million people worldwide. Despite medical management with anti-seizure medications (ASMs), many patients fail to achieve seizure freedom, one-third having drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Even surgical through resective surgery and/or neuromodulatory interventions, 50

Epilepsy represents a condition in which abnormal neuronal discharges or the hyperexcitability of neurons occur with synchronicity, presenting significant public health challenge. Prognostic factors, such as etiology, electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, type and number seizures before treatment, well initial unsatisfactory effects medications, are important considerations. Although there several third-generation antiepileptic drugs currently available, their multiple side can negatively affect patient quality life.

To date, despite the complexity and risks of not removing seizures hippocampal resection is only effective solution to overcome drug resistance in epilepsy. Recently, a significant amount data has been accumulated on mechanisms development, which allows develop innovative strategies it. New antiepileptic drugs have emerging, directly aimed at acting disease etiological substrate (many them are stage clinical trials). Targeted therapy extensively introduced, coupled with precision medicine methods can potentially aid finding personalized approach each individual patient. Migraine models also achieve qualitatively new level, providing researchers an opportunity highly systems for identifying previously unknown components, as well assessing effect drugs. The aim this review was highlight current approaches treatment epilepsy overcoming resistance.

Epilepsy has a profound impact on quality of life. Despite the development new antiseizure medications (ASMs), approximately one-third affected patients have drug-refractory epilepsy and are nonresponsive to medical treatment. Nearly all currently approved ASMs target neuronal activity through ion channel modulation. Recent human animal model studies implicated immunotherapeutic metabolomic approaches that may benefit with epilepsy. In this Review, we detail proinflammatory immune landscape contrast immunosuppressive microenvironment in glioma-related tumor setting, excessive facilitates immunosuppression, thereby contributing subsequent glioma progression. Metabolic modulation IDH1-mutant pathway provides dual for reversing suppression dampening seizure activity. Elucidating relationship between neurons immunoreactivity is an area prioritization next era ASMs.

Abstract Epilepsy is a common central nervous system (CNS) disorder that affects 50 million people worldwide. Patients with status epilepticus (SE) suffer from devastating comorbidities and high incidence of mortalities. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are the mainstream treatment options for symptomatic relief epilepsy. The refractory epilepsy dose-dependent neurotoxicity AEDs such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, dizziness, attention-deficit behavior, other side effects major bottlenecks in treatment. In low- middle-income countries (LMICs), patients failed to adhere regimens consider complementary alternative medicines (CAMs) relieve pain due (SE).

Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) accounts for 30% all cases and matter great concern because its uncontrollability high burden, mortality rate, degree damage. At present, considerable research has focused on development predictors to aid early identification DRE an effort promote prompt initiation individualized treatment. While multiple risk factors have been identified, there are currently no standard that can be used guide clinical management DRE.
