Treatment
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan. Treatment options include:
Supportive Therapy
With advanced disease, tube feedings and nursing care may be necessary.
Medications
Anticonvulsant medications can reduce some symptoms of SSPE. In addition, there is some evidence that certain medications (eg, inosine pranobex, interferon alpha, interferon beta, ribavirin) may help stabilize the disease and/or delay its progression.
