Diet therapies used for patients with epilepsy include the classic ketogenic diet, the modified Atkins diet, the medium chain triglyceride diet, and the low glycemic index diet. The effectiveness of diet therapy is highly dependent on dietary adherence. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has substantially impacted the lifestyles of people worldwide. Therefore, continuing a specific diet during the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be difficult in some aspects.

Epileptologists and dieticians need to understand the difficulty of maintaining diet therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the education of patients and all stakeholders to continue diet therapy even during the current COVID-19 pandemic is crucial to control epileptic seizures.
