Short-Term Outcomes and Immunologic Mechanisms of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone in Infantile Epileptic Spasm Syndrome: A Multicenter Prospective Trial in Southern China [PDF]

Neurology and Therapy
Introduction Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a first-line drug and standard therapy in infantile epileptic spasm syndrome (IESS) with different response rates. The mechanism of ACTH for treatment of IESS remains incompletely understood.
