Epilepsy is a syndrome characterized by transient, rigid, paroxysmal, and repetitive central nervous system dysfunction. Prevention, control, and improvement of cognitive and behavioral dysfunction are of great significance for improving the patients' intellectual development and quality of life. Electroencephalograms (EEG) can predict an accelerated decline in cognitive function.
