Precision Medicine and Epilepsy

Precision Medicine is the practice of making tailored healthcare and clinical decisions to patients based on their intrinsic biological information as well as clinical symptoms and signs. In recent years, the genetic research and precise diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy have gradually become the fastest growing research direction in the field of epilepsy. The application of precision medicine in epilepsy aims to play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy according to the associated genes and specific molecular changes, so as to provide individual treatment strategies for patients with epilepsy.
