What is important to know about the medical treatment of epilepsy?

Accurate diagnosis is of particular importance for the selection of medical treatment for epilepsy. Each of the 35 forms of the disease manifests itself differently and can be controlled with certain drugs. In order for a neurologist to make a correct diagnosis and select an effective therapy, the patient must undergo a comprehensive examination. The accuracy of diagnosing epilepsy abroad is several times higher than in the CIS countries. For example, according to the Teknon Medical Center, where Professor Antonio Russi receives, in 30 out of 100 patients he does not confirm the form of epilepsy that was determined at home. After additional tests, only 1 correctly prescribed medicine helps them to completely get rid of seizures.
Specialists of major European centers for the treatment of epilepsy use about 30 drugs with different mechanisms of action. In Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan there are no more than 10 of them, and they are not always freely available. According to a study by the World Health Organization in 2017, in the CIS countries, 50% of patients lack the necessary medicines.

Bookimed has collected clinics around the world where you will have access to modern methods of diagnosing and medical treatment of epilepsy. You can ask all additional questions to our coordinator, who will contact you after you leave a request on the site. He will guide you on the cost of procedures, help you choose a clinic, make an appointment with a doctor or an examination. You do not pay for Bookimed services. Find out how we work

I was in Severance on May 27, 2019 at a reception by the oncologist's homolog, and on the same day mammography and ultrasound of the mammary glands were done. For the conclusion they said to come on June 5th. I want to say a big thank you to my coordinator Lydia, I went everywhere, translated, sat and waited in queues with me. Service at the highest level! Today, on June 5, I came back to the homologue and she looked at the pictures and said that all is not well worry. And in Russia, they saw a tumor from somewhere. I was also given a disc with ultrasound and momography and a conclusion in paper in English. Thank you all and thanks to bookimed.com! This is not a hoax, really help people. I wanted to share a photo of the clinic and the coordinator, but something is impossible to expose them.
