Testing memory aids for emergency epilepsy treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether using quick-reference guides (cognitive aids) helps emergency medicine trainees better manage status epilepticus, a serious seizure condition. The goal is to see if these tools improve how doctors handle this medical emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a sixth-year emergency medicine intern (final year of training)
- You are willing to participate in a simulation-based study
- You have not participated in previous studies using similar memory-aid tools
- You were not involved in creating or developing the cognitive aids being tested

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how brain cells work during a simple memory task in people with hard-to-control epilepsy who are being monitored in the hospital. You may help researchers understand the brain mechanisms of memory, which could guide better treatments in the future.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
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 early research study tests whether a medicine can change the brain’s electrical “rhythms” while people do memory-related tasks. It may help researchers understand how brain timing affects memory in people who are already being evaluated with specialized brain electrode monitoring.
This trial is for adults in the intensive care unit who are having seizures that last at least 5 minutes or keep coming back without fully recovering. It tests a study approach for managing a dangerous seizure emergency and may help doctors improve care for critically ill patients.
This trial studies how the brain’s control networks work during a surgery-related procedure for people with epilepsy that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. If you qualify, you may do specific tasks while the team maps and measures brain activity to better understand and guide care.
