Abstract

Objective: To explore the presence of drug dependence and Epilepsy in patients with PTC (Post Truamatic Contusions) balanced cautiously. Study Design: Proposed Reviewed Research study. Setting: Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Period: July 2020 to December 2020. Methods: About 90% of patients aged between fifteen to sixty-five years old identified with cerebral lesion and balanced cautiously were applied. Follow up sessions was provided to patients for 12to 18 months. Results: Among the enrolled patients, 23% established early PTS (Post Traumatic Seizures) and approximately established late PTS (Post Traumatic Seizures) from mild to moderate level of cerebral lesion. Patients having early signs of Post traumatic Seizure, about 6% utilized AEDs (Anti-epileptic Drugs) for about 3 months throughout the treatment period and about 7% of patients along with late Post Traumatic Seizures utilized AEDs. Moreover, approximately 8 percent patients established late post traumatic Seizure without considering any early signs of condition. Research findings indicated that only 3% of patients with early and late PTS actually required AEDs for at least 6 months. Although, about 44 percent of patients were utilizing Anti-epileptic drugs to control seizures. Sensible usage of Anti-epileptic drugs is familiar in our region, contributing to enhanced danger of medicine opposition and acquiring financial pressure on low-paid people in well-established state. Additionally, extreme usage of anti-epileptic and prophylactic drugs doesn’t impact the occurrence of PTE (Post Traumatic Epilepsy). Conclusion: The presence of late and early post-traumatic epilepsy observed within our study is contrast to that explored in another research. Sensible production of AEDs is occured in our state, that increases the danger of medicine opposition and attain financial issues for economically destruct people in well-established states. Extreme usage of AEDs and prophylactic drugs doesn’t have an important influence on stopping PTE.
