Why is it important?
Perceived environmental factors such as flickering light, noise and etc were among the identified significant risk factors for repeated seizure attack. If a patient manages those factors they would control repeated seizure attack and reduce there risk of disability and even death.
Perspectives
Millions of people in the world are suffering from epilepsy which has a significant effect on the patient quality of life and increase the risk of poor health outcome. So, personally I am very happy for conducting a study on one of the neglected neurologic disorder. Finally, i hope you will find this article very helpful.
