Behçet's disease is a common neurological disorder that may cause damage to nervous system function, thereby affecting the patient's normal daily life. It can be inherited or may be present at birth. Symptoms of Behçet's disease may include headache, dizziness, blurred vision, limb numbness, muscle atrophy, and others. Treatment options for Behçet's disease include medication, surgical treatment, physical therapy, and psychological therapy.

Medication can improve symptoms and reduce disease severity, but cannot completely cure the condition. Surgical treatment can remove lesions and alleviate symptoms, but also cannot achieve a complete cure. Physical therapy helps improve symptoms and enhances patients' quality of life, yet still cannot fully cure the disease. Psychological therapy assists patients in improving their mental state and alleviating symptoms, but likewise cannot completely cure the disease. In summary, Behçet's disease cannot be entirely cured.

Patients with Behçet's disease are advised to seek timely medical care to prevent worsening of the condition. During treatment, consumption of spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.
