What class/type of anticonvulsants or anti-seizure medications do you use on Batten disease patients?

To treat Batten disease patients the doctors prefer to use anti-seizure medications with a less toxic effect. First, they will choose a more effective medication to control the seizures; second, they will adjust the dosage of the current medication to reduce the damage to the liver functioning and renal functioning. After being admitted to our hospital, the doctors will assess the patient and choose the proper medications and dosage for the treatment. EVERYTHING IS INDIVIDUALIZED.

For the treatment of Batten disease, our doctors prefer to use neural stem cells, and in the treatment procedure, there are 4 separate stem cell injections (once per week) with 5 million stem cells in each injection. According to our clinical research and laboratory tests an individual can only handle a limited number of stem cells from external sources effectively. For children suffering from Batten disease, 5 million stem cells in each injection is the most effective number. If we implanted more stem cells into the patient's body there would be no improvement but it would add to the cost and more importantly, it would add a risk of developing encephalitis and other side effects.
