Management of Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. At Jolly Neuro Clinic, Dr. Praveen Changala provides expert management of epilepsy, employing a comprehensive and individualized approach to optimize care and improve patients’ quality of life.
Dr. Changala’s approach begins with a thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose epilepsy and identify its underlying causes. This includes a detailed medical history, neurological examination, and advanced diagnostic tests such as electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroimaging. These tools help pinpoint seizure types, identify focal points, and understand the overall brain activity patterns.
Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s specific needs and may involve a combination of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to control and reduce the frequency of seizures. Dr. Changala carefully selects medications based on the type of epilepsy, patient response, and potential side effects. He monitors treatment efficacy regularly and adjusts dosages or medications as needed to achieve optimal seizure control with minimal side effects.
In addition to medication management, Dr. Changala explores other treatment options for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. These may include dietary therapies like the ketogenic diet, surgical interventions to remove seizure foci, or neurostimulation techniques such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
Education and support play a crucial role in epilepsy management. Dr. Changala provides guidance on lifestyle modifications, seizure triggers, and safety measures to help patients manage their condition effectively. He also supports patients and their families with counseling and resources to address the emotional and practical aspects of living with epilepsy.
At Jolly Neuro Clinic, Dr. Praveen Changala’s expertise in epilepsy management ensures that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs, aiming for effective seizure control and enhanced quality of life.
