Abstract:
Epilepsy,a common neurological disorder which is more likely to occur in children, does great harm to the physical and mental health of children. At present, use of anti-epilepsy medicine is still the main method of treating the disease. The effects of traditional anti-epilepsy medicine are obvious but many patients can not tolerate the severe side-effects. Moreover, the rate of drug resistance is high. For those children with such a disease who can not be treated by traditional medicine and those who cannot tolerate the toxicity of epilepsy medicine, non-traditional anti-epilepsy treatment might play a potential important role.
