Medical Therapy
Drug therapy for some of the manifestations of TSC is currently in the developmental stage.[1] For example, a 2008 study found that treatment with rapamycin rescued learning and memory deficits in a mouse model of tuberous sclerosis.[2] Community TSC is a distributed computing project to find drugs to treat TSC.[citation needed] The patients usually have relapse of symptoms in the clinical course. Unless any vital function is affected, life expectancy is good. Majority of patients will require some medications to control symptoms, e.g., anti-epileptics to control seizures. In 2010 everolimus was approved for the treatment of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
