Understanding seizures in newborns and their outcomes
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study follows newborns who have seizures to learn more about their health outcomes. It aims to understand the causes and effects of seizures in the first month of life, which may help improve care for future babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 30 days old or younger.
- Your baby has been diagnosed with seizures (convulsions).
- Any gender, born full-term or premature, can participate.
- Your baby does not have conditions that look like seizures but are not (like jitteriness or benign sleep myoclonus).

This study looks at what causes certain serious seizures that start early in life, and how to treat them. It may help doctors better match treatments to the seizure cause in newborns and young infants.
This study looks at newborns (up to 28 days old) who have seizures to understand them better, using EEG brain-wave testing. If you agree to participate and can follow the study plan, your child’s information may help researchers learn more about neonatal seizures.
This study looks at the different types of seizures that newborn babies may have, both those born at full term and those born early. By understanding these patterns, doctors hope to better recognize and treat seizures in newborns.
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 trial builds a long-term list (register) of babies whose seizures start within the first month of life and who need anti-seizure medicine. The goal is to better understand these conditions and support future research that could lead to better care.
This study tests a treatment for seizures in newborn babies who have HIE. It aims to control seizures safely and improve outcomes.
