Background: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Effective management of epilepsy requires appropriate antiepileptic drug (AED) selection, compliance, and monitoring of treatment response.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical profile of epilepsy patients and assess their response to various antiepileptic treatments.
Materials and Methods: A hospital-based prospective observational study was conducted among diagnosed epilepsy patients. Clinical history, seizure type, treatment regimen, and response were assessed over 6 months.
Results: Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) were the most common type (60%). Monotherapy was effective in 72% of cases. Sodium valproate was the most commonly prescribed AED. Good compliance was associated with better seizure control.
Conclusion: Most patients responded well to monotherapy. Early diagnosis, correct drug selection, and good compliance significantly improve treatment outcomes in epilepsy.
