非传统抗癫痫药物防治小儿癫痫的研究进展

Non-traditional anti-epilepsy medicine in treatment of epilepsy in children

癫痫是儿童神经系统的常见病和多发病，严重危害儿童的身心健康。目前，抗癫痫药物仍然是治疗儿童癫痫的主要手段，传统的抗癫痫药物疗效确切但不良反应较大，患者不易耐受，并且部分患者出现耐药。非传统抗癫痫药物疗法可能在药物难治性癫痫以及不能耐受抗癫痫药物毒性的患儿中发挥一定的作用。

Epilepsy,a common neurological disorder which is more likely to occur in children,does great harm to the physical and mental health of children. At present, use of anti-epilepsy medicine is still the main method of treating the disease. The effects of traditional anti-epilepsy medicine are obvious but many patients can not tolerate the severe side-effects. Moreover, the rate of drug resistance is high. For those children with such a disease who can not be treated by traditional medicine and those who cannot tolerate the toxicity of epilepsy medicine, non-traditional anti-epilepsy treatment might play a potential important role.
