Objective To observe the effectiveness and salty of Xiaoer Dingfeng Decoction(Decoction to stop wind in children con- vulsion)in the treatment of syndrome of primary infantile convulsion due to phlegm-heat in tonic-clonic epilepsy.Methods Totally 90 infantile patients were randomized into three groups
which were treated by Xiaoer Dingfeng Decoction
Kangxian(Capsule to treat epilepsy)and Xifeng Capsule(Capsule to calm the wind)respectively.Frequency of seizure
lasting duration
and change of electroen- cephalogram(EEG)were observed 12 months later.Results The total effective rate of Xiaoer Dingfeng Decoction group was 86. 67%
better that that of Kangxian Capsule group(P<0.05)
no significant difference from that of Xifeng Capsule group(P>0.05). It could greatly reduce the frequency of seizure
shorten the lasting duration
and improve the EEG.Conclusion Xiaoer Dingfeng De- coctions is effective and safe for the syndrome of primary infantile convulsion due to phlegm-heat in tonic-clonic epilepsy.
