Home rescue treatment for children with repeated seizures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a rescue treatment given at home works for children who have repeated or long-lasting seizures. It may help families manage seizures outside the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your seizures are long-lasting or happen often.
- You have a prescription for a rescue treatment to use at home.
- You are between 2 and 18 years old.

This study looks at why some children with epilepsy do not get better even with treatment. By joining, you can help doctors find better ways to identify and care for children whose seizures are hard to control.
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 studies the best dose of a seizure medicine for children who are actively seizing while emergency medical teams are treating them. It may help EMS crews give safer, more effective treatment during transport.
This study tests whether two medicines, ketamine (a sleep medicine) and levetiracetam (a seizure medicine), work better than a standard treatment for stopping long-lasting seizures in children when the first rescue medicine doesn't work.
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 if giving ketamine early, before reaching the hospital, can stop prolonged seizures in children with epilepsy. It is for kids who have had at least one seizure emergency in the past year.
