Treatment Options for Myoclonic Seizures
Treating myoclonic seizures can be relatively complicated and challenging because other forms of seizures may occur simultaneously. Ideally, only one anti-seizure drug may be taken to reduce side effects. However, most cases require more than one medications. Common options to help prevent and treat myoclonic seizures include zonisamide, topiramate, levetiracetam, and sodium valproate. For more severe cases, a combination of different options may be necessary. These include epilepsy surgery, ketogenic diet, vagal nerve stimulation, and other anti-seizure devices. [5]
