The mainstay of treatment of epilepsy has been antiepileptic drugs; however, despite the emergence of new agents, a consistent proportion remain drug-resistant. Newer AEDs show promise. However, as it becomes clear that the epilepsies are a group of diseases rather than a single disorder the prospect of targeted treatment in some may become a reality.
癫痫治疗的主要手段一直是抗癫痫药物;然而,尽管出现了新的药物,仍有相当一部分患者对药物耐药。新型抗癫痫药物显示出希望。然而,随着人们越来越清楚地认识到癫痫是一组疾病而不是单一的疾病,针对某些疾病的靶向治疗的前景可能成为现实。
