Epilepsy is among the most common serious neurological conditions and affects at least 50 million people worldwide. Considering that the conventional first-generation antiepileptic drugs took more than 70 years to license, the past 22 years have been truly amazing and there are now more than 20 antiepileptic drugs that can be prescribed on a long-term basis for the management of epilepsy. This book is written by eminent authors in the field and provides a succinct but comprehensive review of the advances that have occurred in the past 22 years with regards to new antiepileptic drug development.
