Author(s): Yash Gupta*
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that manifests as a
tendency to experience recurrent seizures. The management of
epilepsy often involves the use of Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) to
control seizure activity. Gabapentin, a commonly prescribed AED,
has shown efficacy in the treatment of epilepsy. This abstract aims
to summarize the effectiveness of gabapentin in managing epilepsy
based on available clinical evidence.
Numerous studies have investigated the efficacy of gabapentin in
epilepsy treatment. Clinical trials and retrospective studies have
consistently demonstrated the beneficial effects of gabapentin in
reducing seizure frequency and improving overall seizure control.
Gabapentin's mechanism of action involves binding to the α2δ
subunit of voltage gated calcium channels, modulating
neurotransmitter release and dampen.. View More»
