Brain wave test for kids with prolonged seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a quick brain wave test (EEG) to help doctors spot ongoing seizure activity in children who are thought to have status epilepticus, a type of long-lasting seizure. The results may help guide treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is in the pediatric emergency room or intensive care unit with a suspected prolonged seizure (status epilepticus).
- The medical team thinks your child needs this brain wave test.
- Your child has not been excluded for any other reason.

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 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 trial tests a faster way to give seizure-stopping medicine to children having a long or repeated seizure. The goal is to see if quicker treatment leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a treatment for seizure-like brain activity that can happen after a cardiac arrest. It aims to see if treating these seizures quickly can improve recovery for people who are in a coma.
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 looks at whether continuous brain-wave monitoring can guide seizure care in sick children in the pediatric intensive care unit. It also studies how this approach may affect children’s thinking and behavior later.
