Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report a case which gave various remarkable epilepsy treatment results by using oriental medicine.
Methods: We treated the patient with acupuncture as a main treatment and herbal medicine. We also recommended to the patient and patient’s parents to continue oriental medical treatment for 2 years from now because symptomatic epilepsy is a type of disease which needs long term care.
Results: The epileptic seizure has been well controlled for 12 months so far, and the results was recorded by EEG. The EEG level was in normal range.
Conclusions: Even though this is only one case of the study but this case has an important meaning because the epilepsy was treated by oriental medicine, especially acupuncture treatment. The control of the symptomatic epileptic seizure was effective by means of increasing patient’s quality of life. Further studies about effective treatment of symptomatic epilepsy would be needed with more various cases.
