History of epilepsy

Abstract

Introduction: Epilepsy is one of the most important diseases and problems related to the neurology. Many patients have to live with permanent and even debilitating pain and complications of this disease. Epilepsy is an obstructive disease that prevents the limbs from feeling and moving to some extent. It is close to stroke but milder. In this study, we will examine epilepsy from the perspective of traditional medicine scholars and the history, symptoms, treatment strategies and drugs used for this disease. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the views of traditional medicine about epilepsy and the signs and symptoms, motivations and drugs used and the proposed strategies to reduce the complications of this disease. Method: In this review study, the sources of traditional Iranian medicine such as: Zahib Fi Al-Tib, Ferdows Al-Hikma, Al-Hawi, Kamel Al-Sana'a, Hedayat Al-Mutalimin Fi Al-Tib, Qanun, Bayan Al-Tib and Kefayat Al-Tib, as well as epilepsy search engines have been studied. Results: Epilepsy most often originates from a seizure that affects the anterior ventricular aphthous ulcer and incompletely creates a barrier to the penetration of sensory force and movement in the anterior ventricular ventricle that prevents the patient from standing up. Throughout the medical history of previous centuries, Iranian physicians have defined this disease well and scientifically identified and treated epilepsy. The treatments offered include dietary instructions and lifestyle modification and observance of the principles of hygiene, dietary management and the use of oral and topical medications, and finally cleansing the body of rotten impurities by cupping and purging. Discussion and Conclusion: Considering the scientific achievements and solutions presented for this disease in medical texts, it is hoped to reach appropriate methods to evaluate and treat and reduce the complications of epilepsy.
