Summary

One in five children with epilepsy has seizures that are resistant to medication. Even when seizures are under control, drugs may affect children's alertness and mental clarity, impairing their ability to learn and reach their full potential. Many parents are looking beyond currently available medications for a satisfying solution to seizure treatment.
