Epilepsy is affecting about 3% of people worldwide. Current antiepileptic drugs are only effective in 60% of individuals and many drugs can induce several unwanted side effects in patients. Etiology of epilepsy has not been clarified fully. However, increased intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration has main role in etiology of epilepsy. Ca2+ passes the cell membrane through different cell membrane channels. One of the channels is TRP superfamily.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEpilepsyTRPV1 ChannelsCapsaicinOxidative StressArticle10310.37212/jcnos.610113
