Abstract:
It is the trend worthing a close attention in the 21st century to consider the quality of life while focusing on control of epileptic seizures simultaneously during the treatment of epilepsy and related services. The impact of the epilepsy on many aspects of quality of life are caused by many factors, including the type of epilepsy, site of the epileptic loci, onset age, frequency of attack, duration and course of disease, and especially side effects of anti-epileptic drugs. In the treatment of epilepsy, choice of drugs should be made based on benefits and adverse effects, it is necessary to achieve better therapeutic effects, but also to reduce the impact of drugs on the level of intelligence in children and to promote the single-drug treatment. The purpose of the treatment of epilepsy is no longer aimed at seizure free as the end point, consideration must be given to beth the control of seizure and the improvement of the quality of life.
