《脉诀》记载：癫痫的脉象，若呈现浮、洪、大、长、滑、坚、疾的特征，且伴有痰蓄心窍导致的狂证，脉象虚弱的可以治愈，脉象实盛的则预后不良（主死）。又说：脉象忽大忽小，忽长忽短，这些都是邪脉，会导致神志昏乱。癫证属于阴，狂证属于阳。癫证患者多表现为喜笑，狂证患者多表现为愤怒，大体上多因痰结于心胸之间所致，治疗应当调理心神，开通痰结。也有因感受邪气而患上此病的，则按照治邪的方法处理。癫证，是神志不能守舍；狂证，是幻觉丛生，经久不愈。心经受损，这才是真正的疾病。如果心经蓄积热邪，应当清心除热；如果痰迷心窍，应当豁痰宁志。如果是癫证发作时哭泣呻吟，这是被邪气所凭依，并非狂证。将蚕纸烧成灰，用酒送服一方寸匕。突然狂言妄语，仿佛见鬼说话，针刺大拇指指甲下的穴位，即可停止。狂证这种疾病，睡眠少且不饥饿，嬉笑歌乐，妄动不休。癫证这种疾病，意念常不快乐。眼睛直视、头向后仰称为僵，面部向下趴伏称为仆。寸关尺三部脉阴阳俱盛，大体上多因痰结于心胸之间，治疗应当镇心安神、开通痰结，方法与痫证相同。

The *Mai Jue* (Pulse Classic) states: The pulse for epilepsy is floating, surging, large, long, slippery, firm, and rapid. If accompanied by phlegm obstructing the Heart orifices leading to mania, a deficient pulse indicates treatability, while an excess pulse indicates death. It also states: A pulse that fluctuates between large and small, long and short, are all aberrant pulses indicating mental confusion. Dian syndrome (catatonic schizophrenia/epilepsy) belongs to Yin; Kuang syndrome (manic psychosis) belongs to Yang. Dian patients tend to laugh excessively, while Kuang patients tend to anger. Generally, both are caused by phlegm knotting in the chest and heart region; treatment should focus on regulating the Heart Spirit and resolving phlegm knots. Some cases arise from pathogenic invasion, which should be treated by dispelling pathogens. Dian syndrome involves the Spirit failing to reside in its abode; Kuang syndrome involves hallucinations and visions persisting for years without cure. Damage to the Heart Channel constitutes a true disease. If there is heat accumulation in the Heart Channel, clear the Heart and remove heat; if phlegm confuses the Heart orifices, resolve phlegm and calm the Spirit. If the patient cries and groans during an episode, it is possession by evil spirits, not Kuang. Burn mulberry paper, take one cun cube with wine. For sudden manic speech resembling ghostly chatter, needle the area under the nail of the thumb to stop it immediately. Kuang disease is characterized by little sleep, lack of hunger, laughing and singing, and ceaseless erratic movement. Dian disease is characterized by persistent unhappiness. Staring straight ahead with the head tilted back is called "Jiang" (stiff); face down is called "Pu" (prostrate). When the pulses at the three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) show excess in both Yin and Yang, it is generally due to phlegm knotting in the chest and heart region; treatment should settle the Heart and resolve phlegm knots, following the same method as for epilepsy.
