ABSTRACT
Most anti-seizure medications do not change the course of epilepsy and are basically "symptomatic treatment". Even if a variety of new anti-seizure medications continue to come out, there are still more than 30% of patients develop drug-resistant epilepsy. Therefore, investigating new therapeutic targets and developing effective drugs to prevent or reverse the onset and progression of epilepsy are important goals of clinical and preclinical researches. Based on the current studies, to realize the transformation from anti-seizure to anti-epileptogenesis and disease-modifying therapy, it not only needs standardized animal models and biomarkers that can predict the epileptogenesis or progression but also needs sufficient patients, rigorous design schemes, and cutting-edge analysis methods to successfully transform preclinical research into clinical practice. There is no doubt that in the future, targeting various nerve injury pathways to achieve anti-epileptogenesis and disease-modifying therapy probably becomes a truly effective means of treating and preventing epilepsy.
