Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease that places a heavy burden on society and patients themselves. The correlation between epilepsy and gut microbiota is becoming increasingly important. The gut microbiota may influence the development of epilepsy through immune-inflammatory responses, neurotransmitters, and short-chain fatty acids. Ketogenic diet is a traditional non-drug treatment method for epilepsy, which can effectively improve the intestinal microenvironment to control the occurrence of epilepsy. Fecal microbiota transplantation and probiotic intervention have also been research hotspots in epilepsy treatment in recent years. This article summarizes relevant research, and systematically reviews relevant etiological basis and pathogenesis, providing new clues for future clinical treatment research on epilepsy.
