| pubmed-article:3609882 | pubmed:abstractText | Using the same technique as Declerk's and Wauquier's, we added flunarizine to standard therapy in 14 patients, 7 of whom were treated with the sequence flunarizine-placebo and 7 with the sequence placebo-flunarizine. Treatment averaged between 75 and 85 days, with medication administered in a single dose (orally, in drops), 5-10 mg/day. The patients comprised 7 males and 7 females, from 13 to 17 years with the following diagnoses: epileptic encephalopathy 6 cases, grand mal, myoclonic epilepsy, multifocal epilepsy, epilepsy with polymorphic seizures, 2 cases each. Age, sex and disease were distributed equally in both sequences. During treatment with flunarizine we observed the following: 7 cases--no effect on number or severity of seizures; 2 cases--moderate results; 5 cases--good results. | lld:pubmed |
