Abstract:
In the treatment of primary epilepsy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) compounds and the combination of TCM and Western medicine with acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, acupoint embedding and other therapies are used most. The combined application of different therapies could enhance the curative effect, which could effectively control the frequency of the outbreak of this disease, reduce the adverse reactions of drugs, and further improve the quality of life of patients. In recent years, the number of TCM clinical studies related to this disease has increased, but most of the studies have a small sample size, unclear long-term efficacy, few double-blind trials, and unclear random methods. In addition, the criteria of syndrome classification and curative effect of primary epilepsy need to be unified.
