Early seizure medication for brain problems in septic shock
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving an anti-seizure drug called levetiracetam early can help prevent or treat confusion and brain problems in people with septic shock. Septic shock is a life-threatening condition where an infection damages organs, sometimes affecting the brain.

This trial tests if starting a seizure medication called levetiracetam early in the ambulance, along with a specific head position, can help people having a stroke. It is for adults who show clear stroke signs within the last 2 hours and do not have other major health problems.
This trial studies how to give levetiracetam to newborn babies with seizures. It’s trying to find a safe dose and see if it can help control seizures in early life.
This trial tests whether the drug levetiracetam can prevent seizures in people who have brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery to remove a brain tumor and have never had a seizure, this study may help keep you from having one after the operation.
This study tests whether giving a seizure medication (levetiracetam) to people with brain tumors in the movement area can prevent seizures. It compares taking the medication to not taking it, starting before any seizure occurs.
