Medical treatment of hemiplegia can be separate into several different categories: * prophylactic treatment by avoiding triggers and long-term drug treatment * acute management of the episodes * management of the epilepsy * sleep as a management technique. Seizure trigger include exposure to cold, emotional stress, fatigue, bathing, hyperthermia/hypothermia, and upper respiratory infection. A drug called flunarizine, which is a calcium channel blocker can help to reduce the severity and the length of attacks of the paralysis. Flunarizine Many children affected by<unk>  also suffer from epilepsy. Seizures may occur during an attack but more often occur between attacks. Anti-epilepsy drugs are given to prevent or lessen the seizures, but the drugs often don't work and have severe side effects that require the patient to discontinue use. Flunarizine, which blocks calcium channels, is an antiepilepsy drugs used in 50% of patients, and has been shown to shorten the duration of attacks as well as reducing the severity of the attacks. While Flunarizine does not stop the attacks, it is most common drug prescribed to treat those suffering from<unk> . Sleep and diet Sleep is also used as a management technique. An early indication of an episode is tiredness so medication such as melatonin or Buccal midazolam can be administered to induce sleep and avoid the episode. Those suffering from<unk>  are often underweight and with the help of dietitians, a meal plan should be developed for times of attack when consumption of food may be difficult.
