title: Recent Advances in Epilepsy Management.
abstract: One of the most common neurological disorders is epilepsy, which, approximately affecting more than 40 million people worldwide. The situation worsens in the affected patient when the epilepsy becomes intractable, that simply means failure of anti-epileptic drugs (AED) to achieve seizure freedom. It is also associated with an increased prevalence of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. The present review is focused on the recent advances being utilized world over for the effective management of epilepsy patients. The review article discusses the efficacy and importance of recent AED drugs in use for management of epilepsy on one hand and on other hand highlights the use of modern advancements like High frequency oscillations, Network analysis, Seizure localization, Epilepsy surgery in curing intractable epilepsy.
