Abstract

Abstract: In 2022, scholars in the field of epilepsy at home and abroad have contributed many significant research achievements in both the basic and clinical aspects of epilepsy, mainly focusing on the diagnosis and evaluation of epilepsy, the intervention of electroence (EEG) activity in severe neurological disease, the application of antiepileptic seizure medicine (ASM) and disease modifying therapy (DMT) drugs, neuromodulation, gene therapy, etc. This article combined the current needs of epilepsy research in China with the author's own understanding, summarized the new progress in the field of epilepsy mentioned above in 2022, and looks forward to the new development direction of epilepsy research.

Key words: Epilepsy, Anticonvulsants, Review
