Studying Sudden Neurological Symptoms Without Structural Brain Damage
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study examines patients who came to the emergency department with sudden neurological symptoms like weakness, numbness, speech problems, dizziness, or seizures. Researchers will review medical records to better understand how these conditions are diagnosed and what happens to patients over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were at least 16 years old when you arrived at University Hospital Basel as an emergency patient
- You had sudden neurological symptoms that needed immediate evaluation (such as weakness, numbness, speech problems, dizziness, confusion, or seizures)
- Your hospital records include a clear diagnosis and documentation of your clinical course during your hospital stay
- You did not refuse to have your health information used for research purposes

This study looks at adults who had a serious, long-lasting seizure emergency called status epilepticus. It aims to better understand what happened and may help improve care for similar patients in the future.
This trial uses advanced data analysis to help doctors in the emergency room better predict and treat neurological problems like stroke or brain injury. It aims to improve care for all adults who come to the ER with these issues.
This study looks at what causes severe seizure episodes (“status epilepticus”) and a related immune condition that affects the brain (“dysimmune encephalitis”). The goal is to better understand the disease process, which may guide future care.
This study builds a group of adults with sepsis who develop sudden brain problems, like delirium or coma. It aims to better understand how often this happens and how it may be recognized in hospital, which could help future care.
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
This research study tracks how brain damage progresses in rare neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, PSP, CBS, and ALS. Researchers use brain imaging and tests to understand how these diseases spread in the brain, which could help develop better treatments.
