This review summarizes the historical achievements and recent advances in the prognosis and treatment of pharmacoresistant epilepsy from both clinical and laboratory settings. It highlights the use of interdisciplinary techniques, such as biophysics, bioinformatics, biomaterials, and biochemistry, as well as the potential of novel experimental tools for precise treatment of pharmacoresistant epilepsy.
Epilepsy, one of the most severe neurological diseases, is characterized by abrupt recurrent seizures. Despite great progress in the development of antiseizure drugs (ASDs) based on diverse molecular targets, more than one third of epilepsy patients still show resistance to ASDs, a condition termed pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy involves serious challenges. In the past decade, promising advances have been made in the use of interdisciplinary techniques involving biophysics, bioinformatics, biomaterials and biochemistry, which allow more precise prognosis and development of drug target for pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Notably, novel experimental tools such as viral vector gene delivery, optogenetics and chemogenetics have provided a framework for promising approaches to the precise treatment of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. In this review, historical achievements especially recent advances of the past decade in the prognosis and treatment of pharmacoresistant epilepsy from both clinical and laboratory settings are presented and summarized. We propose that the further development of novel experimental tools at cellular or molecular levelswith both temporal and spatial precision are necessary to make improve the management and drug development for pharmacoresistant epilepsy in the clinical arena.
