Epilepsy is a long-term recurrent chronic brain disease that can cause significant emotional burden to the patient and their family, as well as huge economic costs to society. Timely and accurate diagnosis of epilepsy, together with early and standardized treatments can effectively control seizures and restore the patient's quality of life and reduce the economic burden. This meta-analysis examined the efficacy of lamotrigine administration in patients with epilepsy.
