Given that I would not find surprising if it worked for infants too
- giantg2 5y agoThat's interesting. Yeah, I couldn't find anything about it for infants. I wouldn't put too much stock in this study you linked. It's a meta analysis of other studies. These other studies were not designed to test placebo effect. The P value also seems quite large to me (.17). Seems to me like any benefit may have been the conventional drugs they were on... "In each study, the treatment group received the experimental therapeutic intervention in addition to conventional antiepileptic drug treatment, and the control group received a matching placebo in addition to conventional antiepileptic drug treatment."
