About
Pediatric epilepsy has been described as an age related-condition, and it has a strong impact on childhood quality of life. Psychological symptoms and self-esteem impairment are common facts. Although there are some studies studying the benefits of physical exercise in order to improve seizure control in adults with epilepsy, we have not found studies that support it in pediatric population. Few studieshave reported in childhood some benefits in terms of quality of life, self-esteem and improvement of neuropsychological symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to use a validated and applicable scale of quality of life in children with epilepsy. Otherwise, findings may be difficult to reproduce
