Vigabatrin showed a control rate of 29.5% for epileptic spasms, compared to 19% for ACTH, though not statistically significant.
Among 38 patients evaluated, both treatment groups did not differ significantly in demographics or spasms onset age.
This study employed a comparative analysis between vigabatrin and ACTH following prednisolone failure, focusing on efficacy outcomes.
Results may inform future treatment options and family discussions following unsuccessful prednisolone therapy.
