• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the failure of current medicines to relieve seizures in about a third of people with epilepsy in the U.S. Topics covered include the inadequate relief from medication received by patients despite the introduction of more than a dozen new antiepileptic drugs since 1990, new approaches to treating epilepsy, such as nutritional approach like the ketogenic diet and surgical techniques, and the potential of cannabidiol as an effective treatment for some forms of epilepsy.
