Is there a cure for epilepsy?

I have a niece who is epileptic. Although she is currently doing well on medications, I want to know if there is a permanent cure for the ailment.

Although epilepsy can’t be cured, many treatment options are available. Up to 70% of people with epilepsy can manage the disease with medications.
