Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of Carbamazepine combined with sodium valproate on reducing brain injury during treatment of frontal lobe epilepsy. Methods Using a prospective study method, 84 patients of frontal lobe epilepsy diagnosed and treated in our hospital from August 2013 to March 2016 were selected. According to the random drawing principle of envelopes, the patients were equally divided into observation group and control group with 42 in each group. The control group was given Carbamazepine treatment, and the observation group was given Carbamazepine combined with sodium valproate treatment, the treatment courses were 3 months. The outcomes in the two groups were recorded. Results The total effective rate of the observation group and the control group was 97.6% and 85.7% respectively, the difference was significant (P < 0.05). The frequency and duration of epilepsy after treatment in the two groups significantly decreased compared to those before treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, the frequency of seizure in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the duration of seizure was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions including headache, hair loss, tinnitus and drowsiness during treatment was 14.3% in the observation group and 16.7% in the control group without a significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The P300 latency and amplitude after treatment were (322.53 ± 26.39) ms and (15.78 ± 5.20) μv respectively in the observation group, and (339.29 ± 31.42) ms and (14.29 ± 4.29) μv in the control group, there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusions In the treatment of frontal lobe epilepsy, Carbamazepine combined with sodium valproate can improve clinical symptoms, improve the curative effect and does not increase of the occurrence of adverse reactions. It can promote the recovery of neural electrophysiological function, thus reduce brain injury.
