Novel Childhood Absence Epilepsy Treatment options are helping in recovering absence seizures and impaired consciousness

 

Childhood Absence Epilepsy Treatment

Childhood Absence Epilepsy is a rare form of the cerebral disorder, which affects mainly adolescents and children. Recent research by Norwegian researchers found that up to 10% of the general population has some degree of sporadic absenteeism. Children and adolescents with this disease are said to have absence neurosis. Absence neurosis is characterized by children having lapses of concentration and attention when they are not in a position to recall things or events that happened at some point in their lives. They either forget what occurred or have difficulties in remembering it.

Childhood Absence Epilepsy has many causes, and according to the researchers, one of them is the lack of a proper connection between different areas of the brain. The absence of a proper communication pathway between the left and right hemispheres of the brain is said to be a primary cause of the absence of neurosis. This neuropathy may begin from birth or may appear at some stage of life. It can affect any part of the brain, however, most commonly affects the cerebellum - the part of the brain that controls motor functions.

There are various childhood absence epilepsy treatment options available to the children affected with this disease. Some of these treatment options include psychotherapy, neurofeedback, and biofeedback. However, these treatments require that the patients are able to control their own brainwaves. Moreover, these treatment methods have not been very effective in most cases. Another treatment for Epilepsy is through neurostimulation, which has had quite an impressive track record when used in conjunction with other treatment methods. Continuous research and development activities have led to the availability of a number of childhood absence epilepsy treatment options. For instance, INSYS Therapeutics, Inc., a U.S.-based company, revealed new data for its CBD Oral Solution in refractory pediatric epilepsy.
