  • Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of lamotrigine for absence seizures in children and adolescents. Methods Databases of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMbase, CENTRAL, VIP, WanFang, CBM and CNKI were electronically searched till August, 2014 for clinical trials on lamotrigine for absence seizures in children and adolescents. All literature were screened by two reviewers independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The data was extracted, and the methodological quality was assessed. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2. Results Seven trials were included involving a total of 721 patients. The Results of methodological qualities were two studies rated as A-class, three studies rated as B-class and two studies rated as C-class. Meta-analysis Results showed that the efficacy of lamotrigine monotherapy for absence seizure in children and adolescents was better than placebo, but efficacy of lamotrigine was lower than valproic acid and ethosuximide. The adverse reaction rates of lamotrigine were with no significant difference compared with valproic acid and ethosuximide. Conclusion Lamotrigine monotherapy was effective for absence seizures in children and adolescents and was well tolerated. Lamotrigine was a good choice for patients that are intolerable to valproic acid or ethosuximide.
