Seizure Prevention After Head Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving anti-seizure medication right after a serious head injury can prevent seizures from developing. Researchers want to see if early treatment can protect your brain and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed traumatic brain injury (head injury from trauma, confirmed by imaging or clinical exam)
- You arrived at the hospital within 24 hours of your injury
- Your doctors believe you are a good candidate for seizure-prevention medication based on standard medical guidelines
- You do not have a history of epilepsy or seizures before this injury
- You have normal or near-normal kidney and liver function
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to anti-seizure drugs

This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring (EEG) can help guide electrical stimulation treatment for people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this approach can improve recovery.
This trial tests whether giving medication right after a serious head injury can prevent early seizures. It may help people with certain types of brain injuries seen on CT scans.
This trial tests two medicines, levetiracetam and lacosamide, to see which works better at preventing seizures in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to protect your brain after injury.
This study tests drug treatment strategies to reduce seizures after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help prevent new seizure problems or improve seizure control after certain types of brain injury events.
This trial tests whether biperiden can lower the chance of developing epilepsy after an acute traumatic brain injury (with bleeding or bruising seen on CT). If you qualify, you would get the medicine or a placebo soon after the injury, and researchers will compare outcomes.
This trial tests a treatment for seizure-like brain activity that can happen after a cardiac arrest. It aims to see if treating these seizures quickly can improve recovery for people who are in a coma.
