Workup
EEG is required to distinguish myoclonic seizures from nonictal causes of myoclonus, which can arise from lesions of the cortex, brainstem, spinal cord, or even peripheral nerve (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
It is suggested that cue exposure treatment incorporating retrieval cues can be a beneficial treatment in preventing relapse of addictive behavior. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis depends heavily on the underlying etiology and the epilepsy syndrome. Patients with a benign syndrome typically respond well to medication and may outgrow their epilepsy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis Prognosis is good. Seizures normally disappear after the first year of life and patients do not display any neurological sequelae. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Abstract Theoretically, cue exposure treatment should be able to prevent relapse by extinguishing conditioned drug responding (e.g. cue-elicited craving). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
