| Abstract: | A double-blind trial using folic acid 15 mg. daily and identical placebo was carried out in 51 epileptic patients having a serum folate level below 3·6 ng./ml. Treatment was for a minimum of six months and in 41 patients was for more than one year. There were no significant changes in the frequency of seizures, behaviour, and personality, or in a number of cognitive functions. |
