Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease, and studies have shown that some epilepsy patients are combined with cognitive impairment. In clinical practice, it has been found that, in addition to the seizure itself, anti-seizure medications can also have a corresponding impact on the cognitive function of epilepsy patients. However, the effects of some drugs on the cognitive function of epilepsy patients are still inconclusive, and the mechanism of their influence on cognitive function in epilepsy patients is not elucidated. In recent years, some studies followed up the cognitive function of patients receiving anti-seizure medications therapy, and put forward guidance. This article focused on the research of commonly used drugs on cognitive function, the possible mechanism of drugs affecting cognitive function, the rational use of drugs in different groups of people and the prevention strategies of related cognitive dysfunction, hoping to improve emphasis on cognitive function in epilepsy patients and guide clinical practice.
