Comprehensive Guide
to the Management of
Epilepsy
Course Overview:
Epilepsy is a debilitating and difficult-to-treat disorder, characterized by recurrent
seizures due to chronic underlying conditions. The discrimination and social stigma
plagues people with epilepsy and impacts the quality of life not only of the patient but of
the caregiver as well. As the role of a Physician for the care of people with epilepsy is on
the rise, it is imperative to keep the medical fraternity abreast on the diagnosis, treatment
and management of epilepsy.
This course will help equip the Physician to treat a patient with the first onset of seizure by
evaluating their neurological/medical condition, establishing an accurate diagnosis of
epilepsy syndrome followed by treatment using suitable medication in a manner that
optimizes efficacy and assesses the relative risk of seizure recurrences. It will be useful
for the Physician in day-to-day practice to help them in improving the lives of people with
epilepsy. The first module offers basic understanding of the pathophysiology,
epidemiology, classification, risk factors and causes of epilepsy. The second module
focuses on the diagnostic aspects and investigations involved in epilepsy. It offers an in-
depth discussion on the pharmacological treatment option. The final module deals with
other surgical and non-pharmacological treatment options. It also discusses status
epilepticus, disabling epilepsy, management of situation-related epilepsies.
