Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first line of treatment for epilepsy is usually anti-epileptic drugs. These help to prevent seizures and can often control them completely. Other treatments, such as surgery or corpus callosotomy, may be considered if the drugs are not effective. Heavy sedatives are not typically used as a first-line treatment for epilepsy.
