Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
See , what your mother had was "Generalized Tonic-Clonic" tyoe of seizure.
I is usually started with an aura , like headache. Also there is rigidity in various body muscles , because of which body starts to contract.
As far as treatment is concerned , anti-epileptic (like sodium valproate) is given.
I hope this information helps.
Let me know if you have any other queries.
Thank you.
