Abstract

Diagnosis of breath-holding spells was made for all cases by medical history, physical examination, electroencephalogram, and laboratory findings. Piracetam or placebo was administered to patients on a randomized basis. Therapeutic dose of iron ( 3-6 mg/kg ) was administered in both groups of patients with IRON DEFICIENCY and prophylactic dose of iron (1-2 mg/kg) was administered in children under 2 years of age. PIRACETAM in a dose of 40 mg/kg/day (0.15 cc/kg of 33.3 %suspention) and placebo in a dose of 0.15 cc/kg was administered once daily for a period of 2 months. Of the 32 children enrolled, 16 received PIRACETAM and 16 recieved placebo. An overall control of breath-holding spells was observed in 87% of the patients in the group taking piracetam as compared with 100% in the group taking placebo. Complete control of spells was obsereved in 60.2% of PIRACETAM group and 68.8 % of placebo group. Laboratory findings revealed no significant difference between the 2 groups. No significant difference was obsereved between the 2 groups in the control of BREATH HOLDING SPELLS (Chi2 =1.87, P=0.17).
