Considering that the addition of melatonin to routine anti‐seizure treatment was effective in reducing the severity of epilepsy and improving sleep quality, it seems that melatonin can be useful as an adjunct therapy for EGTCS in well‐defined circumstances.Recent data disclose that melatonin prevents seizures in animal models and could be effective and safe for decreasing epileptic manifestations in humans. This study indicated that the addition of melatonin to a routine antiepileptic regimen was effective in reducing the severity of epilepsy; it seems that melatonin can be used as an adjunct therapy for idiopathic generalized tonic‐clonic epilepsy in well‐defined circumstances.
