Ultrasound checks for seizures in preeclampsia
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at using a quick ultrasound at the bedside to find possible causes or warning signs in people with preeclampsia who develop new seizures. It may help clinicians recognize problems sooner and guide safer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with preeclampsia and then developed new, generalized tonic-clonic (seizure) episodes.
- You do not have a long-term (chronic) lung disease.
- You do not have certain connective-tissue (collagen) disorders.
- You do not have severe immune suppression from HIV (if you have HIV, your CD4 count must be 200 or higher).
- You do not have long-term kidney or liver disease, or an active urinary tract infection.
- You do not have sepsis (a serious body-wide infection), a very high BMI over 50, or a prior seizure disorder.

This trial studies how certain blood markers and brain-wave signals change in pregnant people with severe preeclampsia, especially when it leads to eclampsia (seizures). The goal is to better understand warning signs and treatment response to keep mother and baby safer.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if women with severe preeclampsia have too much fluid in their lungs, which could help guide treatment. It may help decide who needs closer monitoring or faster delivery.
This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound (POCUS) after childbirth can help doctors better manage women with preeclampsia. It looks at how well the heart and lungs are working to decide if a medicine called furosemide (a water pill) might help reduce blood pressure and prevent complications.
This study collects samples from pregnant people with preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy blood-pressure condition) and from healthy pregnancy controls. Researchers will study tiny particles (“exosomes”) to see how they differ and whether these signals could help explain or improve care for preeclampsia.
This study uses a painless ultrasound to measure the nerve behind your eye in pregnant women with preeclampsia. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors better manage anesthesia during delivery.
This study looks at people with preeclampsia during pregnancy and how their lung blood pressure and related symptoms change after delivery. It may help doctors better monitor and manage postpartum risks, especially involving the heart and lungs.
