Introduction: Approximately there is 50 million people with epilepsy in the world.
Currently, pharmacological management is the most therapeutic option. However,

the relationship between electroencephalographic results and epilepsy treatment
success. Methods : This is cross sectional observational study. Inclusion criteria
was epileptic patients aged > 18 years and had received epilepsy treatment for at
least 1 year. The chi-square test is performed to see the relationship between
research variables. Results: EEG results has an effect on the success of therapy
(p 0.027). The most common type of epileptiform abnormality is sharp waves. The
most epileptiform amplitude and location were 80 microvolts and in the temporal
lobe. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between EEG abnormalities
