Alternative Therapies This will be a list with links to other non-drug therapies that people have found effective in their particular situation. Keep in mind that since each case of Epilepsy is different, a variety of therapies or drugs that are effective for one person might not work for another.
If you are aware of a therapy that should be listed, please submit it here for inclusion on this page. Again, this is not intended as medical advice or recommendation. This is simply for your information. For more information on the Keto diet, please go here. VNS therapy, or Vagus Nerve Stimulation, involves the surgical placement of an implant to stimulation the Vagus nerve. For some patients, this approach allows seizure control without any medication. Another implant, The Responsive neurostimulator (RNS), has been used successfully to treat some cases of epilepsy. From the NeuroPace website: "The RNS is a programmable, battery powered, microprocessor-controlled device that delivers a short train of electrical pulses to the brain through implanted leads. In treating epilepsy, the RNS is designed to detect abnormal electrical activity in the brain and respond by delivering electrical stimulation to normalize brain activity before the patient experiences seizure symptoms. The RNS is implanted in the cranium and connected to one or two leads that are implanted near the patient's seizure focus."
Some interesting work has been done with music and frequencies - working on
the premise that healthy brain waves emit a frequency, or vibration that can
be imitated or 'suggested' to the brain via music. Check out our
article section to see some of these
reports.
