Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.
research Pharmacovigilance in Pediatric Patients with Epilepsy Using Antiepileptic Drugs
Most children with epilepsy on antiepileptic drugs experience side effects, especially those on multiple drugs, but these drugs help reduce seizures.
research Issues in the Treatment of Epilepsy
Treating epilepsy is complex, requiring careful drug choice and patient adherence to manage seizures and side effects.
