Abstract

This review was presented under the Protocol for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A literature search was performed in PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Medline databases from 2007 to 2021. The keywords for the literature search were (SE or controlled clinical trial) AND (SE or randomized controlled trial), (SE or multicenter trial) AND (SE or meta-analysis) AND (SE or crossover study). SE is an urgent medical emergency that requires early recognition and aggressive treatment. Medical treatment is initiated when seizures continue for more than 5min after all stabilization measures have been taken. Based on the available evidence, diazepam can be used as a substitute for lorazepam in the treatment of SE. Ketamine is effective when given before other anesthetics as a third-line treatment in refractory and very refractory epilepsy. Propofol reduced the number of days of mechanical ventilation in the treatment of SE and has better seizure control than thiopental. Music has been recommended as an adjunctive therapy for epilepsy medication.
