According to research published in the journal *Epilepsia*, a significant portion of epilepsy patients struggle with drug-resistant seizures, highlighting a continuous need for novel therapeutic options. This reality drives ongoing research and development, bringing to light what are the new seizure medications 2025 and beyond.

The Maximal Electroshock Seizure (MES) model, facilitated by an electroconvulsiometer, is one of the most widely accepted and reproducible methods for screening antiepileptic agents in research. The use of an electroconvulsiometer is to deliver a controlled electrical stimulus to small laboratory animals, inducing a seizure to evaluate the effectiveness of new pharmaceutical compounds in controlling seizure activity.
