Patient experiences after severe seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 trial studies whether using EEG (a brain-wave test) in the ICU can help guide care for people whose seizures keep going despite initial medicines. It may benefit patients with severe, difficult-to-stop status epilepticus by improving how doctors find and treat ongoing seizure activity.
This study looks at what causes severe seizure episodes (“status epilepticus”) and a related immune condition that affects the brain (“dysimmune encephalitis”). The goal is to better understand the disease process, which may guide future care.
This study looks at adults who had a serious, long-lasting seizure emergency called status epilepticus. It aims to better understand what happened and may help improve care for similar patients in the future.
