Hii,
Its a interesting question,
There is no relationship between the iron keys or chains and the treatment of epilepsy. Whenever you see this type of patient, always put the patient in the left lateral position, so that if he vomits that vomitus should not go to his lungs.
Always remember never put any thing like spoons in between the teeths, it will cause more trauma.
Hope this will help you.
