Objective To investigate the effect of high-dose hormone pulse therapy on children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus.Methods 60 children were randomly divided into control group (30 cases) and study group (30 cases) according to the admission sequence. The control group was treated with antiepileptic drugs (according to clinical electroencephalogram or syndrome), and the study group was treated with methylprednisolone sodium succinate [20 mg/(kg·d) × 3 days, once a month, for 6 months]. During the period, antiepileptic drugs were taken normally. After 6 months, the curative effect, abnormal EEG and side effects were compared.Results After 6 months of treatment, the clinical conditions of the two groups were significantly improved (effective rate: control group: 19/30 vs. study group: 26/30), and the clinical efficacy (26/30) and EEG improvement (26/30) of the study group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05), weight gain can be improved by diet control and reasonable exercise.Conclusion Hormone pulse therapy for children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus in the control of clinical seizures and improve the effect of abnormal EEG, recommended.
