Using memory aids for treating a seizure emergency
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using simple checklists or other mental aids helps medical interns treat a serious seizure emergency called status epilepticus. It may train you in a useful skill for the ER.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be a sixth-year emergency medicine intern.
- You are willing to take part in this study.

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 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 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 study looks at whether a special brain-recording procedure for difficult-to-control seizures changes a person’s memory, thinking, or other brain skills afterward. It may help doctors understand risks and plan care for people undergoing the procedure.
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 study looks at how attention and concentration change right after a seizure in people with epilepsy. It uses a short hospital stay to track these changes, which may help improve understanding and future treatment.
