AB  - There  are  approximately  45  million  people  in  the  world  with  epilepsy  and  the  global  incidence  is  0.05%.  Known  causes  of  epilepsy  include  stroke,  head  trauma,  tumors,  and  infections;  however,  in  many  cases  the  cause  is  unknown.  During  seizure  activity,  patients  risk  injury,  quality  of  life  impediments,  developmental  delays,  and  learning  difficulties.  While  antiepileptic  drugs  (AEDs)  remain  the  mainstay  of  treatment,  30%  of  patients  with  epilepsy  are  refractory  to  treatment.  AEDs  have  a  wide  variety  of  side  effects  that  may  decrease  the  quality  of  life  and  impair  brain  development.
