Abstract: Professor Ma Rong has devoted himself to the treatment of pediatric epilepsy for decades, focusing on digging out other treatments besides oral drugs. He believes that both traditional and modern medicine in the treatment of epilepsy is guided by the purpose of curing or alleviating the symptoms of epilepsy and improving the patients quality of life. The three kinds of treatments recognized in modern medicine are targeted to their suitable population, but they also have the taboos and drawbacks. Traditional medicine is the experience summarized through the practice of countless ancestors in the course of the development of nearly a thousand years. However, because of the limited conditions at that time, there are some deficiencies in collation and clinical research, and some of the effective treatments need further research and development. We should rely on modern advanced technology to further explore its origin and to excavate, which is also a relatively difficult and important research direction at present.
