The majority of new AEDs are used to control focal seizures, as well as in specific epileptic syndromes (Lennox–Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome) and tuberous sclerosis. Third-generation AEDs have fewer adverse side effects, resulting in increased patient treatment adherence. The majority of new AEDs are used to control focal seizures, as well as in specific epileptic syndromes.
