This study examines patients who came to the emergency department with sudden neurological symptoms like weakness, numbness, speech problems, dizziness, or seizures. Researchers will review medical records to better understand how these conditions are diagnosed and what happens to patients over time.
This trial is for adults in the intensive care unit who are having seizures that last at least 5 minutes or keep coming back without fully recovering. It tests a study approach for managing a dangerous seizure emergency and may help doctors improve care for critically ill patients.
This study records information about people who are in the hospital with status epilepticus (prolonged seizure activity) to better understand care for refractory cases. If you qualify, your team may collect your clinical details during your hospital stay rather than giving a new treatment as part of the study.
This study interviews people who had a severe, prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) and were treated in intensive care. It asks how they feel and what they experienced 3 months to 5 years later.
This study looks at how people recover after a prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) in the intensive care unit. It tests thinking and memory skills, and may include a follow-up MRI, to learn more about the brain's healing process.
This study collects information about adults who have had an unprovoked seizure or who have epilepsy. The goal is to better understand epilepsy in the community and improve future care.
