The angiograms have gotten a lot better. My first one at age 18 they put a sand bag on my leg and I had to lay down for what seemed like a lifetime. Now it’s just a pressure bandage. That’s good.
I don't really know much about the old ways as I haven't really had it that long compared to a lot of other team members on here. But tbh treatments only get better over the years so I would say what they have now is probably better...
It all depends on what type of epilepsy you have for new options. Mine has stayed the same after all these years.
I'm not sure anything has changed that much tbh I have had epilepsy since a year old and I'm 60 now
there's more medications around and vns and rvs options which I'm not suitable for
but they have always done EEG's and MRI scans have been going for some years now so for me anyway not a lot has changed but the severity of my seizures and they told me as a child that would be the case despite going many years in between without any issues
My Treatments & tests have haven't changed much in 55 yrs other than longterm monitoring, scans & new AED'S available & those haven't changed much in 15 yrs. So old school I guess
