  • Clinical study on the effect of hormone shock on children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high-dose hormone pulse therapy on children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus.Methods60 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.ResultsAfter 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.ConclusionHormone pulse therapy for children with epilepsy and sleep status epilepticus in the control of clinical seizures and improve the effect of abnormal EEG, recommended.

  • Clinical efficacy of perampanel monotherapy in children with focal epilepsy

    Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of Perampanel (PER) monotherapy in children with focal epilepsy. Methods Forty-six children with focal epilepsy who were newly diagnosed in the Department of Neurology of Wuxi Children's Hospital and had not used anti-seizure medications during January 2021 to June 2022 were selected, including 24 males and 22 females, with an average age of (7.2 ± 2.4) years old. Mono-therapy of PER as the PER group (23 cases), mono-therapy of Levetiracetam (LEV) as the LEV group (23 cases). Compare the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions between the two groups. Result The total effective rate was 87.0% (20/23) in PER group and 73.9% (17/23) in LEV group after 3 months of treatment (P<0.05); the total effective rate in the PER group was 78.3% (18/23), and 60.9% (14/23) in the LEV group after 6 months of treatment (P<0.05). The differences were statistically significant. In the PER group, 2 children had adverse reactions, 1 case was lethargic, and 1 case was dizziness. By temporarily reducing the drug dose and slowing the rate of dosing, the adverse reactions disappeared. In LEV group, 3 children had adverse reactions, all of who were irritable in varying degrees. By slowing down the rate of drug addition, 2 children’s symptoms disappeared and 1 child's symptoms relieved during 3 ~ 6 months. Conclusion The new anti-seizure medication — PER has a better anti-epileptic effect on focal epilepsy, which is better than LEV. The adverse reactions of both drugs are less and mild, and can be selected according to clinical conditions.
