Treatment of Epilepsy in Adults: Expert Opinion, 2005
Karceski S, Morrell MJ, Carpenter D. Treatment of Epilepsy in Adults: Expert Opinion, 2005. Epilepsy & Behavior 2005;7(Suppl 1):S1-S64.
Over the past decade, there has been a proliferation of new therapies for the treatment of epilepsy. Faced with this growing list of options, clinicians must decide what therapy, or combination of therapies, is best for a given individual. Although controlled clinical trials exist for each treatment option, the answer to these questions may remain unclear. In 2000, a survey of expert opinion was done to address questions concerning which treatment options might be best in a number of clinical situations. In 2004, a second survey was sent to 48 US epileptologists, 43 (90%) of whom responded; 29 (67%) of the respondents had also participated in the first survey. The goal of the 2005 survey was to update treatment recommendations in the field. The 2005 guidelines present the latest expert recommendations in a user-friendly fashion and compare the results of the two surveys so that clinicians can track important changes in treatment recommendations.
