Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread embedding plus Western medication in treating major epilepsy.Method Sixty epilepsy patients were randomized into a thread embedding group and a Western medication group, 30 cases each. The Western medication group was intervened by Western medication; the thread embedding group was given acupoint thread embedding based on the same Western medication treatment. Seizure frequency, seizure score, general efficacy and the improvement of adverse reactions due to Western medications were analyzed.Result Compared to the Western medication group, the thread embedding group was more effective in controlling seizure frequency (P<0.01), and reducing seizure score (P<0.05) and adverse reactions of Western medications (P<0.05); the general efficacy of the thread embedding group was superior to that of the Western medication group in treating epilepsy (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupoint thread embedding plus Western medication is effective in treating epilepsy, and is superior to the use of Western medication alone.
