Li Jinmei and Mao Ke from West China Hospital of Sichuan University: Experts’ talk on epilepsy: treatment of refractory epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, which leads to recurrent attacks. When an epileptic seizure occurs, the patient may suddenly fall to the ground, twitch, have eyes rolling back, foam at the mouth, etc. Epilepsy not only harms the patient's physical health, but also seriously affects the patient's daily life. At the same time, long-term and recurrent epilepsy can cause brain cell function to decline, leading to a poor mental state for the patient.

Most epilepsy can be controlled by drugs, but some epilepsy responds poorly to drug treatment and is called refractory epilepsy. So, what causes refractory epilepsy? What treatments can be used for patients with refractory epilepsy?

Shanghai Media Group's famous doctors invited Professor Li Jinmei from the Department of Neurology and Professor Mao Ke from the Department of Neurosurgery of West China Hospital of Sichuan University to jointly present the live video broadcast of "Big Names Chat about Epilepsy: Treatment of Refractory Epilepsy".
