Epilepsy Prediction

May I know the state of the art in the epilepsy prediction???

Hello,
According to a study, an implanted device that monitors brain activity may offer a way to predict seizures in people with uncontrolled epilepsy but it is still in trial phase and has not been used in a large number of patients.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Thank you for the response...I recently attended a seminar on the treatment and causes of epilepsy and got interested to know the techniques used to predict epilepsy if any.....

Hello,
Please elaborate on the question that you want to ask regarding epilepsy. Whether you want to know about the types, causes, diagnosis, treatment options or prognosis of epilepsy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
