A new Australian medical study suggests spiders` venom may help improve nerve conduction problems in children with severe spasmodic epilepsy syndrome (Dravet syndrome).
Spiders` venom may help children with rare epilepsy
The team at the University of Queensland in Australia said spiders used venom to attack the nervous system of prey, a characteristic that researchers continued to study and demonstrated in mice that spider venom can be used for certain substances in the change nerve conduction system. It helps Dravet syndrome patients with the same nerve conduction problems.
This disease is a rare disease caused by gene mutation. It usually occurs in children about one year old with severe spasms, epilepsy and even intellectual development problems. Due to nerve conduction problems, there is still no complete treatment.
