Analyses were on an intention to treat basis. Antiepileptic drugs were continued in all. Randomization was by roll of a dice. Four patients treated with yoga were seizure free for six months compared to none in the control groups. There was a decline in the average number of attacks per month compared to the baseline frequency among the patients treated with yoga.
Further studies are necessary to evaluate the efficacy of yoga in the treatment of epilepsy.
