BACKGROUND
The history of epilepsy and its treatments dates back to at least 4 millennia. Avicenna, c. 980 AD in Bukhara, Khorasan-1037 in Hamedan was a Persian-speaking Iranian physician, who has many recommendations and suggested various therapies for epilepsy in his book, The Canon of Medicine.
METHODS
We first reviewed the most important ancient treatments for epilepsy mentioned by Avicenna and considered those as the key words for our next step. Then, we made a literature search (medline and scopus) with those key words to find out new scientific findings in modern medicine about the Avicenna's suggestions.
RESULTS
Among the Avicenna's recommended therapies for epilepsy, only Rue has been tested for anticonvulsant activities in modern medicine. Interestingly, it had a dose dependent anticonvulsant effect.
CONCLUSION
It is worthwhile to consider the Avicenna's recommended therapies for epilepsy and to design future scientific studies based on his suggestions.
背景
癫痫及其治疗的历史至少可追溯到4000年前。阿维森纳，公元980年左右在布哈拉（现属乌兹别克斯坦），1037年在霍拉桑的哈马丹，是一位说波斯语的伊朗医生，他在其著作《医典》中对癫痫有诸多建议并提出了各种治疗方法。
方法
我们首先回顾了阿维森纳提到的癫痫最重要的古代治疗方法，并将其作为下一步的关键词。然后，我们用这些关键词进行文献检索（医学索引数据库和Scopus数据库），以找出现代医学中关于阿维森纳建议的新科学发现。
结果
在阿维森纳推荐的癫痫治疗方法中，现代医学仅对芸香进行了抗惊厥活性测试。有趣的是，它具有剂量依赖性抗惊厥作用。
结论
值得考虑阿维森纳推荐的癫痫治疗方法，并根据他的建议设计未来的科学研究。
