The Efficacy of Low Glycemic Index Diet on Seizure Frequency in Pediatric Patients with Epilepsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Approximately 30% of pediatric patients with epilepsy do not achieve adequate seizure control when given standard medication. Dietary changes are frequently regarded as a viable alternative therapy option in the case for these patients, with a growing body of evidences supporting their efficacy (1-3). Research has demonstrated that the traditional ketogenic diet (KD), which restricts carbohydrate consumption to less than 4% of total calorie intake, shows efficacy in improving seizure management in newborns and young children.
