Epilepsy Treatment Options
Ketogenic diet
Another option for children whose seizures remain uncontrolled, even with medication, is the ketogenic diet, a high fat, low carbohydrate regimen. For a safe and effective implementation of the diet our specialized team coordinates a comprehensive neurological and nutritional assessment. To be successful, families must be committed and disciplined in adhering to the diet. Support is readily available from the "keto team," which includes a dedicated group of physicians, nurses, and nutritionists.
