overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of epilepsy include: Reducing the chance of possible epilepsy causes to happen ( Head trauma, Hypoglycemia, Cerebral palsy, Electrolyte disturbances, fever, drug abuse and Vitamin deficiency) and reduce the seizure triggers ( sleep deprivation, fever, light flashing, hyperventilation, alcohol, physical stress such as physical exercise or illness, psychological stress and depression).
Primary Prevention
- Effective measures for the primary prevention of epilepsy include:
- In healthy people, we can prevent epilepsy by reducing the chance of possible epilepsy causes to happen such as:
- In patients who already have epilepsy, we can reduce the seizure triggers such as:[8][9][10]
- Sleep deprivation
- Fever
- Light flashing
- Hyperventilation
- Alcohol
- Physical stress such as physical exercise or illness
- Psychological stress
- Depression
