EPILEPSY
In this cross‐over clinical trial study, 60 patients with epilepsy with idiopathic generalized tonic‐clonic seizures alone (EGTCS) and under valproic acid treatment received either melatonin or placebo with a washout period of 2 weeks intermittently. Outcome variables included a reduction in the severity and frequency of epilepsy besides improvement in electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities and sleep quality.
