A standard evaluation that is performed in a patient with intractable seizure disorder is designed to determine the cause of the seizure activity, the classification of seizure type, and what treatments may be effective in reducing seizure tendency.

The goals of treatment, whether medication or surgery, is for the patient to be seizure-free, experience no adverse effect, and to have no lifestyle limitations.
