Understanding Epilepsy — Causes, Symptoms & Modern Treatment Approaches

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting people of all ages. It occurs due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to recurrent seizures. At Hope Neuro Care Centre, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment of epilepsy through advanced techniques like Video EEG monitoring and Neurodiagnostic evaluation.

Causes and Triggers:
Epilepsy can result from various factors including head injury, brain infections, stroke, genetic conditions, or developmental disorders. In some cases, the cause may remain unknown. Common triggers include lack of sleep, stress, missed medication, or flashing lights.

Symptoms:
Seizures can vary from brief lapses of awareness to full-body convulsions. Other symptoms may include confusion, staring spells, unusual sensations, or temporary loss of consciousness.

Diagnosis & Treatment at Hope Neuro Care:
We use Video EEG, MRI brain scanning, and Neurophysiological tests (EMG/NCV) to accurately identify the type and source of seizures. Treatment options include anti-epileptic medications, Botox therapy, and surgical or lifestyle interventions for complex cases.

Conclusion:
With expert neurologists and state-of-the-art facilities, Hope Neuro Care Centre helps patients achieve long-term seizure control and an improved quality of life.
