Study on late-onset epilepsy and its links
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had their first seizure or were diagnosed with epilepsy after age 18, and compares them to people with migraine. The goal is to understand what might be connected to epilepsy that starts later in life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first seizure or were diagnosed with epilepsy after turning 18.
- Your diagnosis was confirmed at a specialized neurology center (tertiary care).
- Your seizures are not caused by something like a tumor, stroke, brain injury, or birth defect.
- You have migraine (for the control group), with or without medications that also treat seizures.

This study looks at what factors can make seizures happen after a first stroke. It may help doctors identify who is more at risk so future care can be better targeted.
This study looks at people ages 18 to 65 after they have a first seizure that is not clearly triggered. It also compares them with healthy volunteers to better understand what might predict whether seizures come back.
This study looks at whether checking and treating heart and blood vessel risk factors can help people who start having seizures after age 50. It includes two parts: one that adds a risk check to your regular care, and one that uses your medical records to learn more about this condition.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat people after their first suspected seizure. It may help if you've had a recent event that might have been a seizure and haven't been diagnosed with epilepsy before.
This study tracks children with epilepsy to understand how different types progress over time and what factors affect their outcomes. By learning more about your child's epilepsy journey, researchers hope to improve how doctors predict and manage the condition.
This study is observing how the brain's connections and activity work in people with epilepsy. It uses MRI scans and EEG recordings to learn more about the condition, which may help improve future treatments.
