Modified Atkins Diet for Drug-Resistant Epilepsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Epilepsy is a prevalent condition characterized by chronic, recurrent, and unprovoked seizures, contributing significantly to morbidity [1]. A significant number of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience insufficient control of their seizures, even when utilizing combinations of anti-seizure medications (ASM) [2]. Uncontrolled seizures may lead to elevated mortality rates, arrested development, and cognitive impairment. Surgical treatment is an option for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), albeit limited by the invasive nature and potential complications [3,4].
