Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report two cases of epileptic children who were diagnosed as Sik-Gan(食癎) and were treated by oriental medical treatment.
Methods: We diagnosed the patients as Sik-Gan(食癎) and treated them with herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxa and oriental physical therapy. We observed the improvement of patient’s disease by checking seizure frequency and clinical progression of gastrointestinal symptoms.
Results: Oriental medical treatment reduced patients’ the number of seizures, and improved gastrointestinal symptoms.
Conclusions: This study showed that the oriental medicine can be a meaningful treatment for epileptic children who were diagnosed as Sik-Gan(食癎), but more relevant studies on epileptic children diagnosed as Sik-Gan(食癎) are needed.
