Remission of epilepsy as a function of time

Publication date: August 2016Source:Epilepsy & Behavior, Volume 61
Author(s): Peter Wolf
The modalities and mechanisms of remission in epilepsy are largely unknown apart from certain self-limited syndromes. In an earlier investigation, therapeutic antiepileptic drug (AED) plasma levels were used as biomarkers of seizure propensity, and their course was monitored during slow stepwise drug withdrawal in seizure-free patients. The findings indicated that remission typically was a slow quantitative process taking ...
