Research Notes on Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Epileptic seizures can range from very mild confusion or spasms to uncontrolled movements and loss of consciousness. Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication.1

Fast Facts:

  • Most seizures are not life-threatening.2
  • Epilepsy can be caused by genetics, head injury, or any disease (such as a stroke) that injures or deprives the brain of oxygen.3
  • Epilepsy is a relatively common condition, affecting 0.5% to 1% of the population.1
