Abstract

There have been major advances in the treatment of epilepsy over the past ten years, leading to marked changes in the way this illness is treated. However, the introduction of new drugs and new non-drug treatments have led to uncertainty in the medical profession with regard to their exact indications. For this reason, a group of neurologists of the Catalan Society of Neurology have drawn up guide-lines for the treatment of epilepsy.A panel of eight neurologists with a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy reviewed the literature to assess the data available regarding the treatment of epilepsy. A joint document was drawn up describing the basic rules for the use of antiepileptic drugs and the indications for other non-drug treatments.This document is an approved therapeutic guide to the treatment of epilepsy.
