Ictal headaches can often be controlled with anticonvulsants.
An EEG can help lead to the correct diagnosis. Even when an EEG does not prove determinative, anticonvulsants may be a first line of treatment if these symptoms are present with headache.

Famous quotes containing the word treatment:
“I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.”
—Hippocrates (c. 460–c. 370 B.C.)
