Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the different proportion of responders between groups who get first-line anti-epileptic drugs (intervention) and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (control)trough the study completion, about 14 weeks

responders are children who get the reduction of seizure frequency by 50%

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the description of seizure onset in percentageat baseline phase in the 1st week (before intervention)

the data is taken from electronic medical record, seizure onset is categorized into \<5 years, 5-\<10 years, and \>/= 10 years

time to achieve the reduction of seizure frequency by 50% or more among respondersduring intervention, about 12 weeks

time that is counted in week and is divided into 3 categories , 2-\<4 weeks, 4-\<8 weeks and 8-12 weeks

the difference of quality of life between groups who get first-line anti-epileptic drugs (intervention) and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (control)at baseline phase in the 1st week (before intervention) and after intervention in the 14th week

quality of life is assessed by validated instrument QOLCE-55. It has 55 questions including cognitive (22 items), emotional (17 items), social (7 items) and also physical (9 items) function. Items are rated on a five-point Likert scale, 0 = very often, 1 = fairly often, 2 = sometime, 3 = almost never, 5 = never. The composite score is the unweighted average ...

the difference of the electroencephalography (EEG) changing between groups who get first-line anti-epileptic drugs (intervention) and second-line anti-epileptic drugs (control)at baseline phase in the 1st week (before intervention) and after intervention in the 14th week

The EEG examination is operated two times, at the baseline and post intervention phase, with high density machine (Caldwell Easy III) is done twice, pre- and post-intervention. The machine will operate for about 45 minutes including 5 minutes each for eye-open and eye-close in every subjects. Beginning with acquisition, EEG recordings use standard parameter ...

The adverse drug reaction profile are taken from the diary card, it is categorized into neurology system, gastrointestinal system, musculocutaneous system, renal function, liver function and electrolyte

the association between gender and seizure reductionafter intervention in the 14th week

gender is categorized into male and female ; seizure reduction is categorized into responder and non-responder

the association between duration of anti epileptic drug medication and seizure reductionafter intervention in the 14th week

he duration is categorized into \<1 year , 1 - \<2 year, 2 - 5 year, and \> 5 year ; seizure reduction is categorized into responder and non-responder

the association of the number of anti-epileptic drug is consumed and seizure reductionafter intervention in the 14th week

number of anti-epileptic drug consumed is categorized into 2 , 3 , or \>3 drugs. Seizure reduction is categorized into responder and non-responder

the history of developmental delayedat baseline phase at 1st week (before intervention)

the data is taken from electronic medical record, categorized into yes or no. it is named as delayed if the development does not follow the milestone in one or more developmental sectors (language, gross motor skill, fine motor skill, personal social)

the association of seizure frequency and seizure reductionafter intervention in the 14th week

the frequency is how many times in a month, it is categorized into \<5 times, 5-10 times, 10-20 times and \> 20 times. Seizure reduction is categorized into responder and non-responder
