Methods: The China Journal Full-text Database, science and Technology Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang database, PubMed database, EMbase were searched on the treatment of primary epilepsy literature combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the system evaluation and meta-analysis were performed.Results: A total of 11 studies with 951 cases of primary epilepsy were included in the randomized controlled trial. The meta-analysis showed that the clinical effects of treatment of epilepsy group with combination of TCM and Western Medicine (RR=1.18, 95％ CI: 1.07-1.29, P ＜ 0.01), incidence frequency (WMD =-0.98, 95％ CI: 1.56-0.40), electrocardiogram improvement rate (RR=1.28, 95％ CI: 1.11-1.47, P ＜ 0.01) were significantly better than western medicine treatment (control group) . Conclusion: The effects of combined traditional Chinese and Western Medicine on primary epilepsy based on the method of latent town collaterals is superior to that of pure western medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To comparison of the quality of life in children with migraine and quality of life in children with primary epilepsy(EP)or Tourette's syndrome(TS).Methods There were 239 children with moderate migraine,the time of which lasted from 6 to 36(12.14?4.67)months,headache index 4-20(9.98?3.74).There were 250 cases and 424 cases with EP or TS,respectively,both team members were under good control with single drug therapy,the diagnosed according to the international classification of headache disorders-Ⅱ.The pediatric quality of life inventory,version 4.0,age 8-12 years,and child report forms were used to evaluate the quality of life in children with migraine and the other two kinds of samples by Bonferroni and Mann-Whitney tests.Results The scores of quality of life in children with moderate migraine were lower than those in children with EP(total score 69.06?10.48 vs 81.26?13.80;physical function scores 67.43?14.37 vs 83.14?14.70;psychological function scores 69.92?10.56 vs 80.26?14.32;emotional function scores 66.76?14.09 vs 80.90?18.93;social function scores 76.81?14.67 vs 83.36?17.40;school function scores 66.20?13.62 vs 76.52?13.80).The scores of quality of life in children with moderate migraine were lower than those in children with TS(total scores 69.06?10.48 vs 79.18?11.45;physical function scores 67.43?14.37 vs 81.52?12.61;psychological function scores 69.92?10.56 vs 77.90?12.28;emotional function scores 66.76?14.69 vs 74.07?16.34;social function scores 76.81?14.07 vs 89.06?16.23;school function scores 66.20?13.62 vs 70.35?16.96).Two sets of data between children with moderate migraine and those with EP,TS showed statistical significance(Pa
