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 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.
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 follows children who had their first seizure with a fever to see how often seizures come back and if they develop epilepsy. It helps doctors understand which children need extra monitoring.
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 looks at how attention and concentration change right after a seizure in people with epilepsy. It uses a short hospital stay to track these changes, which may help improve understanding and future treatment.
