Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your brother's diagnosis of SSPE- subacute sclerosing pan encephalitis. Unfortunately, there is no cure for SSPE today.

Despite medications, the disease continues to progress, however, the rate of progression differs in different people. Isoprenosine is a commonly used medication in SSPE.

For control of seizures and myoclonic jerks, sodium valproate can be used.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
