中医治疗原发性癫痫多采用中药复方，以及中西药与针灸、推拿、穴位埋线等相结合的疗法，疗效确切，不同疗法复合应用具有协同增效的作用，可有效地控制患者癫痫的发作频率，降低西药的不良反应，进一步改善患者生活质量。近年来，有关本病的中医临床研究增多，但多数临床研究的样本量较少、远期疗效不清楚，使用双盲试验者较少，随机方法不够明确。此外，原发性癫痫的证候分型及疗效判定标准需进一步统一。“,”In the treatment of primary epilepsy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) compounds and the combination of TCM and Western medicine with acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, acupoint embedding and other therapies are used most. The combined application of different therapies could enhance the curative effect, which could effectively control the frequency of the outbreak of this disease, reduce the adverse reactions of drugs, and further improve the quality of life of patients. In recent years, the number of TCM clinical studies related to this disease has increased, but most of the studies have a small sample size, unclear long-term efficacy, few double-blind trials, and unclear random methods. In addition, the criteria of syndrome classification and curative effect of primary epilepsy need to be unified.
