Spotting seizures in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different healthcare professionals can identify seizures in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It aims to improve seizure detection and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
This study compares two ways to stop non-convulsive seizures in the ICU. It tests whether fast sedation in intensive care works better than giving higher-dose anti-seizure medicine through a vein.
This study looks at how people recover after a prolonged seizure (status epilepticus) in the intensive care unit. It tests thinking and memory skills, and may include a follow-up MRI, to learn more about the brain's healing process.
This trial looks at improving outcomes for people who have a potentially life-threatening neurologic illness and are admitted to a Neuro ICU soon after injury. If you qualify, you may receive care strategies being tested to improve recovery and survival.
