The Use of Anti-inflammatory Drugs in Epilepsy

Abstract

Epilepsy is a brain disorder associated with neuroinflammation. Furthermore, it is known that important elements of the inflammatory process increase the susceptibility to epileptic activity. Therefore, the search of pharmacological strategies focused on decreasing both neuroinflammation and neuronal excitability associated with epilepsy is important. This chapter is a review of several drugs that may be used for this purpose.
