Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of night large dose of sodium valproate on epileptiform discharges,and cognitive function of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. Methods Ninety cases of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (n= 45), both groups received regular total doses of sodium valproate therapy 25-30 mg?kg-1 ?d-1 . Patients in the treatment group received treatment that night doses of sodium valproate was double of morning doses. Every night dose was (17.96±1.21) mg?kg-1 , and every morning dose was (8.92±0.62) mg?kg-1 . The control group received the same dose [(13.37±0.80) mg?kg-1 ] of sodium alproate therapy twice a day, morning and evening. The epileptiform discharges, cognitive function, therapy effect were compared between two groups. Results Total effective rate of treatment group was 82.22% which were was significantly higher than that of the control group 62.22%(P<0.05);Epileptiform discharges reduction of treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), the effective rate of EEG improvement (84.44%)in treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group 66.67% (P<0.05); FIQ, VIQ, PIQ in treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); There were no statistical differences of adverse reactions between two groups. Conclusion Night large dose of sodium valproate treatment can help control epileptic discharge, increase the plasma concentration, improve cognitive function, and therapy effect.
