没有足够的证据用以确定在短期治疗婴儿痉挛症上,是否还有其他形式的糖皮质激素同促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)一样有效。然而,低剂量的促肾上腺皮质激素可能同高剂量的促肾上腺皮质激素效果相同。
在短期治疗的儿童与婴儿痉挛症(不包括那些与结节性硬化症)上,促肾上腺皮质激素比氨己烯酸(VGB)更有效。
没有足够的证据表明,在短期治疗婴儿痉挛症方面,其他药物和综合治疗是有效的。短间歇疗法取得了较好的长时间的疗效(Short lag time to treatment leads to better long-term developmental outcome)。短期应用ACTH或类固醇来治疗隐源性婴儿痉挛症的长期效果比VGB更好(Successful short-term treatment of cryptogenic infantile spasms with ACTH or prednisolone leads to better long-term developmental outcome than treatment with VGB.)。
建议:在治疗婴儿痉挛症上应该考虑应用低剂量的促肾上腺皮质激素。ACTH 或者VGB可能对于短期治疗婴儿痉挛症是有益的,ACTH优于VGB。在治疗隐源性婴儿痉挛症方面,激素治疗(促肾上腺皮质激素或类固醇)优于应用VGB,可能改善发育成果。短间歇疗法应用任何激素治疗或VGB治疗婴儿痉挛症,可能改善长期发育结果。(Recommendations: Low-dose ACTH should be considered for treatment of infantile spasms. ACTH or VGB may be useful for short-term treatment of infantile spasms, with ACTH considered preferentially over VGB. Hormonal therapy (ACTH or prednisolone) may be considered for use in preference to VGB in infants with cryptogenic infantile spasms, to possibly improve developmental outcome. A shorter lag time to treatment of infantile spasms with either hormonal therapy or VGB possibly improves long-term developmental outcomes.)
